I built my system myself.
Pentium 2.0A ghz
Gigabyte GA-8PE667 Ultra
768mb PC-2700 DDR Ram
Gainward Geforce 4 ti4200 128mb DDR
30gig Maxtor 7200rpm
LG 48x24x48x CD-RW
Well the system worked fine for 3 months. Then one night I shut down my system and during the night the power went out.
(connected to a surge protector only)
The next morning I turned on my system and all it wanted to do was beep at me repeatedly (short beeps). But then every once in a while it would boot fine.
I contacted gigabyte for support and they told me that repeated short beeps is AWARD BIOS BEEP CODE for "WRONG IN POWER".
So i swaped out my 350w powersupply for a 300w powersupply but it made no difference.
I also tried swaping my graphics card, modem, diconecting everything except for cpu, ram and vga and booting. All with the same result. So I got a rma# and sent my motherboard in for replacement.
I just got the replacement today and well still the same problem.
This is what happens now when i try to boot my system.
I get repeated short beeps then stop a single beep and system boots.
OR
sometimes I dont get any repeating short beeps it just boots normally.
OR
other times I get repeated short beeps then stop then repeated short beeps again no boot no info to screen.
I am extremly confused here because I sent the motherboard out after having these same problems for replacement.
Before I sent in the motherboard I tested everything I could myself.
powersupply, vga card, hard disk, modem,. everything except for CPU, RAM.
I am wondering what could possibly be causeing this problem.
can a cpu or ram cause this?
since this problem is still around it makes me wonder if my board was accually replaced. (I think it is a different board because there of how clean it is)
Please HELP.
Thanks
