Beeps on start up

I've been trying to revive my 600. I'm having trouble installing the OS and thanks to the people who have offered solutions where I posted that question. In digging in a little further I found out that there is a self diag that runs and the beeps define a problem. I have three beeps on start-up. It relates to: 64K RAM failure. Is this a motherboard issue or is there something I may have mis-configured in adding/changing out hardware?

The base 64kb memory is used by the bios to check the basics then pass through to the CPU to start everything up. Depending on your mobo make, 3 beeps could mean a ram failure or or something more sinister, check the mobo site for beep codes. If you like you can try re setting the bios on mobo look for JBAT1 terminal and move jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3 for a few seconds and then back to 1-2. Restart pc and set time and ensure you get the Hard Disk drive recognised in the standard bios settings by pressing f8 or similair to auto detect drives, save then exit.

Compaq Presario Coprocessor conflict

Sometimes , when a Computer's OS is upgraded, form the original OS, you will find "Unknown Devices" in Device Manager. "Coprocessor" is common. Usually it's the Card Reader, try installing the driver for the Card Reader, Windows 7 32 or 64bit what ever OS Windows 8 is. You can find the drivers here, choose your OS 32 or 64bit, try Driver-Storage, Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader, you must change compatibility of the Win 7 driver: Card Reader driver: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3927357 Change driver compatibility: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6832-compatibility-mode-use-windows-8-a.html

I've installed windows 8 os in my acer aspire 5580 laptop,but inbuilt webcam not working

Click start control panel view devices and printers you should see your webcam from there if you are have trouble with your webcam Click start control panel administrative tools computer management device manager scroll down image devices you could see a yellow question mark? right click to reinstall drivers or update driver xp Click start right click on computer select properties device manager scroll to image devices expand right click to update driver in W7 http://download.cnet.com/2000-20_4.html on the home page you should see a search tab just type in what you are looking for IE: webcam name webcam driver you might have to try a few times to get it right software if you dont have the driver you will need to download one here rather doing a driver hunt which can take hours http://download.cnet.com/slimdrivers-free/3000-18513_4-75279940.html Windows XP/Vista/7/8 It might take some time being a freeware driver solution note: it will find all of your outdated drivers this is a free driver solutions This will automatically search for and find the correct driver you will have to update every driver individually once you update you might be asked whether you want to restart or make a system restore point click no to both of these then continue updating each driver free then restart once all of the drivers have been updated Some webcams and programs require additional software, although that should be installed with the webcam if things are right. But is does not harm to check if your Java, Flash and Quicktime software are installed and up to date. But certainly check your DirectX software, since all video applications, including webcams, use DirectX for video processing. Try downloading the latest DirectX version and install it (Windows XP: DirectX 9.0c - Windows Vista: DirectX 10). http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Which-version-of-DirectX-is-on-your-computer Hope this helps.

HP (5185-6477)

and stated OS version running.
the HP manual tells you all beeps codes, HP.com

that is a mobo #
is it too much trouble to say out of WHAT?


you need to go in to BIOS
and set the boot device first.
and order. and not have CD installed if enabled.
the HDD must be bootable, is it?
if not do a fresh install of your unstated OS.

Three sets of beeps, or three individual beeps? Does it repeat? If so, then check this for the code you are hearing:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/pe600sc/en/it/1r237c20.htm#1046231

If it is a steady once-per-second beep - or a constant screech - and it is able to boot to the OS (or even most the way), then it is probably your RAID controller. Boot to CTRL-A or CTRL-M to check the status of your array.

Installation of audiophile 192

Here is a list computer beeps and what they mean.

  • No Beeps: Short, No power, Bad CPU/MB, Loose Peripherals
  • One Beep: Everything is normal and Computer POSTed fine
  • Two Beeps: POST/CMOS Error
  • One Long Beep, One Short Beep: Motherboard Problem
  • One Long Beep, Two Short Beeps: Video Problem
  • One Long Beep, Three Short Beeps: Video Problem
  • Three Long Beeps: Keyboard Error
  • Repeated Long Beeps: Memory Error
  • Continuous Hi-Lo Beeps: CPU Overheating


Most times the beeping is caused by a bad/loose connection somewhere or card not seated properly.
Try disconnecting and reconnecting everything again. Make sure that all the power plugs are connected properly even if you didn't mess with them. Moving things around can sometimes be enough to give you the "BEEPS". ";-}


If you are still having much beeping and no computing you can try my personal favorite.

Start first with verbal threats. Next move to a second floor window and, while you explain whats going to happen if it doesn't knock it off, open the window.

If that fails give it the pitch.
Believe it or not I have used this technique and after reassembly and repair.....No more beep.

I hope this helps but if not let me know and we will try something else.
