What is/are POSTcodes?

[Asthmaboy]

I was told to consult my mobo's manual for what the beeping my computer was making, but have no clue what the hell the manual was saying when it said 22h, 1Bh, CFh, C0h, 0B-0Dh, etc...

I have no idea what any of these codes mean, and Google was no luck as the only searches yielded results of things relating to zip codes.

The post codes are what are displayed in the LED read out on the motherboard. If you look in the manual in Appendix C, you'll see what each code means. The beginning of the manual also has good info.

IME, the visual codes usually displayed in colored lights, or the little readout, are largely useless. The audio error beep codes are often spot on though, again IME. The AMI morse code style beeps here, are the ones I have most often heard.

Sometimes a board makers does have their own as the Award section states, so you can e-mail their tech support if you can't match the ones you are hearing.

Crap.
I meant to ask, how the HELL do you translate the codes?
Like , how many beeps means each little code found in the manual?

I would check the LED readouts before the beep codes... they probably correspond to the same error

Try to transalte the audio error code first. Count the number of short and/or long beeps then reference it. Or just post it hear and I'll do it for you 🙂
