As i don't understand these noises what are they suppost to mean
Could you shed some light on this problem please

Thanks RoB 64

I thinks its a system board error will this mean that i will need to go & buy a new P3 mobo

It far more than likely is not. Try reseating all of your components. What were you doing before it started doing this?

 

[zorbid]

Before you remove everything, try to clear the CMOS. It will reset all BIOS parameters to their defaults, it may help too. Look in your MoBo's booklet how to do this (you most probobly need to move a jumper and then put it back at it's original place while the computer is off)

Award BIOS

1. One short bleep after text appears :OK

2. Continuous bleeping (each bleep lasting two seconds):
RAM init failure.

3. A few bleeps: Video card init failure (probably)

4. Nothing: Processor is probably damaged.
