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.
