CPU goes "beep"

<< < (2/4) > >>

Yeah, whats the amount and length of the beeps.

2 short and 1 long is usually a monitor error.

Be grateful your getting to POST. It's more aggrivating when you hit the power button and you get nothing...

This is the user manual for my CPU. Thanks for the help. I guess I am lucky getting to the POST. Hopefully, I'm not too far away. You folks are money!  8)

That certainly is an old motherboard (over a decade old).  And you say this all worked before you 'took the PC apart'?  How exactly did you take apart the PC? I assume you mean you unscrewed the motherboard from the case and mounted the mobo and drives in the cocktail?

I don't think it's that old. It's a P4 1.7 Ghz.

But I took it apart one piece at a time. I labeled all the cables to make sure they went in the proper way when reconnected.

I did take each part out and placed them in the cocktail. Why do you ask?

Your link above is for an old Pentium motherboard, and the manual says it was written in 1995.  ???

I only ask about how much you took apart so that maybe you could reverse your steps to try and figure out where something went wrong.
