Computer Help
« on: September 03, 2005, 11:27:00 pm »
I'm trying to set up my MAME PC, and am having a problem with the motherboard. Its a SuperMicro P4DC6 with dual Intel Xeon processors. When I turn it on, four small red LEDs light up on the motherboard, and I get a repeating tome out of the PC speaker. The best way I can describe it is as a "dee doo dee doo dee doo dee doo" sound. I never actually get any picture on the monitor. I did test the video card on another computer, and it works.I have searched google to no avail. Any ideas?

Those beeps are bios error codes.  There should be some sort of key in the back of your MB manual. 

However it's also totally possible that your Dual Xeon Processors have become self aware and are simply refusing to perform such a lowly task, until you hook up speakers all they can do is beep at you!

I would imagine that they feel like it's sort of like having a Dual PHD in Nuclear Physics and Quantum Mechanics scrub toilets...

I can't interpret which error code it is from the manual. The manual's descriptions of the codes are unclear.
