SYSTEM

Troubleshooting System Problems

If the computer beeps...

then...

1, 2, or 3 times...

reseat the memory SIMMs or DIPs.
If the system still beeps, replace the
memory.

6 times...

reseat the keyboard controller chip. If
it still beeps, replace the keyboard
controller. If it still beeps, try a
different keyboard, or replace the
keyboard fuse, if there is one.

8 times...

there is a memory error on the video
adapter. Replace the video adapter, or
the RAM on the video adapter.

9 times...

the BIOS ROM chip is bad. The
system probably needs a new BIOS
ROM chip.

11 times...

reseat the cache memory on the
motherboard. If it still beeps, replace
the cache memory.

4, 5, 7, or 10 times...

for 5 or 7 beeps, first test with a new CPU - if that
does not solve the problem, then motherboard must
be replaced.
