BIOS ROM checksum error
The contents of the BIOS ROM to not match the expected contents. If possible, reload the BIOS from the PAQ
Welcome to my website
What motherboard do you have? If you don't know, provice make and model of your system and maybe we can find out that way. Is it one long beep? Are there any other beeps and/or a sequence. A good place to start and alot of times, depending on your bios, 1 to 3 beeps means a problem with the RAM(memory). If you have more than 1 stick, you can pull them out, restart and if the beep is the same, you've probably found your culprit. You can then insert one at a time in one of your slots, then restart. If this works, you've found a good stick. If not, try another slot and restart, etc. Try all sticks in all slots.
See if there is an error beep. If there is an erro beep, then change main board. Power off. Then check if RAM CPU BIOS are well-connected. Press Fn+F5 three times slowly LCD FPC LCD inverter LCD USB does not work correctly USB device cable is firmly connected into the USB ports. Test
Sounds like a RAM problem. Best bet is to purchase a stick of RAM from a store that will let you try it and return it if the problem is not solved. The beeping is a BIOS error code that signifies that something is wrong with your hardware.
If you have 2 sticks of RAM installed try removing one of them and then if the beep code happens again try to swap them out.
I long + 3 short beeps or 3 short + 1 long beeps indicates memory problem.
The RAM module/s may need reseating to re-establish proper electrical contact.
If it still doesn't boot up then :-
Get the RAM module/s may be faulty, test the module/s in another laptop or get your friendly computer shop to test them.
