ON BOOT; 2 short beeps after ram check

[lybush]

Hi all,

I have a Compaq DeskPro P550 and when I boot, after the ram check, I get two short beeps.

Any idea what this means?

Thanks,

Len

The computer POST ensures that the necessary system requirements are met before booting up. The result of this test is indicated by a series of beeps. This beep code tells you what problems, if any, are present. Generally, if the computer is configured properly, you will receive either a single or a double beep, depending on your system BIOS.

If you hear one long and two short beeps, this is a graphics card fault.

Thanks, then if I only get two short beeps, all is well!

I appreciate your help.
