Beep Codes
0
Beep codes are used by the BIOS to indicate a serious or fatal error to the end user. Beep
codes are used when an error occurs before the system video has been initialized. Beep
codes will be generated by the system board speaker, commonly referred to as the PC
speaker.
AMIBIOS displays the checkpoints in the bottom right corner of the screen during POST. This
display method is limited, since it only displays checkpoints that occur after the video card has
been activated.
Not all computers using AMIBIOS enable this feature. In most cases, a checkpoint card is the
best tool for viewing AMIBIOS checkpoints.
