BIOS Error Beep Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the
system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors
are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the
boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors
will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If a fatal
error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The
numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the correspond-
ing error.
