 |
|
have a Chaintech S1689 MB with a Phoenix - Award Workstation BIOS
(07/12/2005-K8/M1689D-SU7K0811C-00)
Over the past month, when I boot, I sometimes get 4 beeps in a row just
after the Award ID screen appears.
Then one of the following happens:
1: No problem
2: Windows 98 opens slower then usual
3: A blank screen untill I press the power buttton once.
4: Hangs, and I am forced to reboot.
Plus, if I do get into windows98 I find that some of my graphic heavy
applications (games, photo imageing, scanning) don't work very well.
So?
What does the 4 beeps means?
Do they have something to do with graphics?
How do I fix (if needed) it? |

Are the beeps all the same length or is it
1 long and 3 short?
If it is then it indicates vga card problem so you could try shoving it into
the socket a bit tighter (is your monitor cable pulling on it?) |
