SYSTEM
Troubleshooting System Problems
If the computer beeps...
then...
1, 2, or 3 times...
reseat the memory SIMMs or DIPs.
If the system still beeps, replace the
memory.
6 times...
reseat the keyboard controller chip. If
it still beeps, replace the keyboard
controller. If it still beeps, try a
different keyboard, or replace the
keyboard fuse, if there is one.
8 times...
there is a memory error on the video
adapter. Replace the video adapter, or
the RAM on the video adapter.
9 times...
the BIOS ROM chip is bad. The
system probably needs a new BIOS
ROM chip.
11 times...
reseat the cache memory on the
motherboard. If it still beeps, replace
the cache memory.
4, 5, 7, or 10 times...
for 5 or 7 beeps, first test with a new CPU - if that
does not solve the problem, then motherboard must
be replaced.
