Abit BF6 siren sound / no post

[jfunk]

Greetings,

My brothers old PC, an Abit BF6 w/ a SLOT-1 P3/500 won't post.

It makes the siren sound and thats it. No video or anything.

I believe this sound is usually due to CPU temp, but generally doesn't cause it not to get video or anything.

The CPU fan is fine. I have tried another CPU and video card.

Any ideas or do you think this mobo is shot?

Thanks,

j

Siren with no post = bad memory

Siren after post = overheating processor


Just dealt with this myself on some PC's at work. It's a modern Award BIOS signal not typically published in the manuals.
