Hello there vinod_kundap.

Here's your geek-steer ...

Those beeps you hear is your BIOS alerting you about trouble encountered during the bootup's Power-On Self Test (POST) in the only language she knows ... beeps!

Your motherboard uses Award BIOS, and the only POST result that comprises three beeps is "1 long, 2 short" which indicate:

"Video adapter error: Either video adapter is bad or is not seated properly. Also, check to ensure the monitor cable is connected properly."

  • The "video adapter" is the physical device (aka card).
  • "not seated properly" means the card/cable connection(s) are not fully connected tightly.
Of course, this might not be the trouble at all. It is very common for POST failure indicators to be wrong, it's just the best the poor stupid little glob of circuits can do. But it's probably all you have for now, unless you're aware of any other clues not covered in your question.

Troubleshooting actions based on this result would require opening PC case and physically inspecting all connections, and if still troubled, swapping out the video card with a "known good", or taking it out an installing into a "known good" PC, then let simple deduction determine.

Good luck, and please do post back ...

My Dell Inspiron 1521 has had a battery problem for a couple of weeks but just taking the battery out and only using the adapter worked just fine. One night the computer shut itself down twice. The next...

Hi,
Try running the diagnostics on the computer. You may need to repeat some of the steps that you have already done to initiate the same.

1. Remove the battery and the Ac adapter from the system
2. Press the power button for 10 seconds
3. Reinsert the battery and connect the Ac adapter
4. While holding down the FN key on the keyboard press the power button.

If the system beeps in a series on 3-3-3 or 3-3-4 the system is ok and there could be a problem with the screen.

If the system beeps in some other code . revert to the post and we would let you know where the problem is .
Thanks for using fixya

It should at least beep. Those beeps are diagnostic codes. Listen to the beeps and google 'bios error beep codes'. If it doesn't beep, the motherboard must be replaced.

OptiPlex GX280 PC Desktop only start de fans tun

I have had this problem and never quite got to the bottom of it. Because it doesn't get too far when in starts I think it is memory related or bios. Opening and closing the case can reset the bios on some computers so check this setting in bios, to stop it happening try turning of sleep or standby function in bios.

Computer does not fire up. I do have steady green light on power supply. All motherboard connections appear to be tight.I have come home before to a beeping noise in the past. After resetting the machine...

That beeping noise may be due to over heating.
Most machines today have a temperature setting that will turn the machine off once the temperature reaches a certain point.
Safety feature to avoid damaging your cpu and components.
The shut down and restarting allows the CPU to cool down briefly.
Thus allowing you to start the machine again. Usually it will shut down again once the temperature threshold is again reached.
Good test is let the machine sit for 30 min. If it immediately starts up and shuts down a few minutes later. Heat build is usually the problem.

Typically this is due to heat sink or Fan on the computer CPU.
Check to be sure both are connected to the CPU and functioning.
If you have a fan on top of the heat sink above the CPU. Make sure it is working correctly. Dust build up over time will eventually kill the fan bearings or reduce airflow. Heat sink can and will become clogged with dust also. Replacement fans are easy to find. Heat sinks are even easier to clean.
Depending on your machine and CPU position replacing the fan can be a challenge. But can be done in a few minutes with minimum tools.

Each bios has different post codes and it is difficult to tell what is happening with out knowing the bios of your particular machine. Listen for the beeps and check your computer manual.
You can also google for this. Here is a web site that lists a few bios P.O.S.T codes.
http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm
Once you know the beep sequence you can look it up. Usually points to the problem and you can go from there.

Good luck!
