I ordered parts for my new computer today and put them together. On powering up, nothing displayed on the monitor. What is more, I got 5 short beeps (same pitch I think) in sucession. My mother board documentation has NO listing for bios beep codes. I have done some searching on the internet and have found this site:
http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm
which should be the appropiate documentation. However there is no information about 5 short beeps. There are other threads with people with my problem and mobo, but they all had a working display. I'm thinking this is a seperate issue and it might have to do with my graphic cards DVI to VGA connector?
Anyway here is the relevant information on my machine:
- My motherboard is an A8N-SLI Premium
- CPU is AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core
- Graphics card - e-GeForce 7900 GT
- Memory -CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel
So far I have tried re-seating the memory, re inserting the CPU and heatsink, and re-inserting the graphics card.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
