Can someone translate the POST beeps for a PowerSpec B617?
I am not sure what the BIOS is, as there is no signal sent to the monitor. I believe the specs say the motherboard is an Intel DG31PR. Of course, every flipping thing is integrated on the motherboard, so I can't start pulling extra cards.
Just for grins, I reseated the memory and temporarily swapped out the hard drive. No change
When I turn it on, I get one of the following:
(1) Three beeps. A pause. Three beeps. A pause. Three beeps.
(2) Three beeps then silence
(3) Nothing
I have the PC going through a UPS, but unplugged the whole mess Friday evening (turning the UPS and PC off as well) , as storms were anticipated. I came home tonight, plugged everything back in and this is the result.
Any clues/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks to all replies.
I reseated the RAM ... again ... and the POST beeps went away, but still no video. I finally took it into the place where I purchased it, as it was under warranty. I've never had to do that before for any PC.
Anyhoo, it beeped one time for the first tech who looked at it and then never did again. Video returned as all is back to normal. The tech ran diags (to what level, I don't know) and saw nothing.
So, for now, I'll write it off as a "transient system anomaly".
Thanks again!
Great idea on the extra video card, as I did have an extra available. Unfortunately, the slots on the new motherboard do not accept them.
I'm giving BA to the guy who provided the links, because I can use those later.
