Beep
Codes
During boot up, the computer performs a series of POST (Power On Self Test) routines. A beep code may
appear when an error is detected. There are fatal and nonfatal errors. The fatal errors include BIOS, CMOS,
DMA, RAM, video, and keyboard controller errors. The nonfatal errors include timer tick interrupt, shutdown
test, unexpected interrupt in protected mode, gate A20, RAM test, interval timer channel 2 test, clock, serial
and parallel port test, math co-processor, system board select, and extended CMOS RAM.
The following table provides a description of the beep codes.
