Need to know the meaning of a Beep Code, ASUS A7N8X-VM/400 mb, gives a beep code on power up, 1 long, 6 short. [email protected]

This page

suggests hat for Asus systems, 1 long beep, two short beeps is characteristic of a RAM fault. The video card does not determine the beeps, it is the system BIOS of your computer which determines the beep codes (and what the fault is of course)
If your computer is not an ASUS, but some other brand but with an ASUS video card the beep code may mean something different.

some answers at http://support.asus.com/Troubleshooting/detail.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&m=A7N8X-VM&s=10&hashedid=pPR0NBX0mzUFT1PK&os=&no=978 and http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-beeps.htm

Hello here is the homepage:

http://www.asus.com/support/Search-Result/?keyword=A7N8X-VM

Try to download the manual, when the site is up and running again.

Here is a list of beeb codes:

The fault could be all from a bad ram module, to the cpu failing.

Try to renew the power supply, and look for bad caps, on the mainboard:




If the caps look like this, scrap the mainboard.

It does not pay, to let them be changed.

A new mainboard, can be bought for a 100 dollars today, and the cpu also.

Good luck

A7N8X-E has a award bios chip on it. are you getting a beep code when you try and post / power on the system.

some common errors.

long beeps or continuous beeps can be a memory error

i suggest reinserting the memory modules make sure they are inserted correctly.

one long beep followed by two or three beeps relates to a video card error

for this i would suggest reseating the graphics card make sure its sitting in the slot correctly.

if you can see bulging or leaking caps on the motherboard i would look into buying a new socket A motherboard it will only cost you around £50 and you then have a years warrenty

i hope this helps !

You are going to need to lookup your BIOS version and manufacturer and find the Beep codes list. each BIOS has non beep codes and beep codes. the beep codes are bad. find out what this code means and do as they say if you dont know how to find what BIOS version your running Goole "What BIOS am i runninng?"

Once you have that like i said google it and its beep codes and if you cant find it ill help
