Paging Dr Cane - the pc surgeon.

Cane says...

I get this every time on my current pc. It's always done that and the pc
I had before always did that too, and I had that one from new.

Nope, 2 bongs and a beep

Nope

Dust Under Hard drive or Disc Unhelpful?

Either way, good call.

 

Bugger. I spent minutes searching for something to cut and paste.

 

Lozzo banged the rocks together and they said :

Disconnect floppy.
Disconnect all BUT ONE CD ROMs/RAMs & DVD ROMs/RAMs
Unplug all cards from motherboard apart from a graphics card (if the
mobo has built in graphics, use them and remove any plugged in gfx card)
Go into BIOS and perform a reset (load BIOS power on Defaults).
Still in BIOS change the boot order to CD/DVD and then HDD, disable all
other devices.

Bung Windows CD into drive and reboot machine.


If that still doesn't boot somethings broke, nick parts from Pips PC to
replace yours until it works

 

Now that is fucking spooky. I was discussing this with Loz as he left
the building - just at the time you were typing this, and my advice to
him was exactly what you've written, almost word for word.

If he does, I'll shag more than his ear.

 

I have an Asus A7A266 (Socket A) mobo and looking through the manual the
beep codes listed don't apply to what you're getting.
ie 1 short beep is No error during POST,
Long beeps in endless loop is no DRAM installed or detected,
One long beep followed by three short beeps is Video Card not found or
VC memory bad,
and High frequency beeps when system is working is CPU overheated.

So the book doesn't tell you anymore than you know, that something's
fecked.

So I'd look at the Chassis intrusion lead/jumper to see if this is on or
off, a scanned pic of which I've just uploaded to Gmail drive, Paulxxx
folder.

If you want any more info from the manual, post back to newsgroup and
I'll scan other pages, providing my CPU holds out ... eldest son tried
overclocking it a week ago and it's now decidedly flaky at best ..

Hope it helps.

 

Pip banged the rocks together and they said :

Great minds and all that.

I thought Loz shagged your ear, not the other way around?

God, nightmares are made of this stuff!

 

"Fools seldom differ"

Time I got my own back. As it were.

Think yours are bad? Imagine Lozzo's.

 

Paul - xxx says...

Thanks Paul, it does help. I'll try and download from the Gmail drive.
