4 System board timer not operational. Possible system board malfunction. To
eliminate the possibility of an add in-card
problem, remove all expansion cards.
■ If the beep code occurs even when all
expansion cards have been removed, the
system board is at fault.
■ If the beep code does not occur when the
expansion cards have been removed, one
of the cards is causing the problem. Install
the cards one at a time until the problem
happens again. When the beep code
returns, the most recent card you installed
is at fault.
5 A processor on the system board generated
an error. Try replacing the processors with known
good processors.
Same as for 4 beeps.
6 The keyboard controller (8042) may be
defective. The BIOS cannot switch to
Protected mode. Remove the keyboard to see if the error goes
away. If it does, try a known good keyboard.
Same as for 4 beeps.
7 General exception error (processor
exception error). Same as for 4 beeps.
Same as for 5 beeps
8 Display memory error (system video
adapter). If the system video adapter is an add-in card,
replace or reseat the video adapter. If the
video adapter is integrated into the system
board, the board may be faulty. Try using an
add-in card.
9 The ROM checksum value does not match
the value encoded in the BIOS. Same as for 4 beeps.
10 The shutdown register for CMOS RAM failed. Same as for 4 beeps.
11 The cache memory test failed. Same as for 4 beeps.
