Boot beeps When pc is turned on, I get one long beep repeatedly. Have tried various known good RAM and another good video card with no change. P3 886 MHz 128Mb Ram 4.3 Gb HDD Win 98SE. Have checked all connections and cables and everything seems ok. How can I get it to boot?

Re check all inserted pci cards and all memory, reseat if necassary. Have you recently upgraded anything, if so remove. Continuos beeps can also indicate processor power failure.

Check the power connector to the motherboard, remove and check for shorting, melted pins.

Only way to check the processor is by using a new one unfortunately, but firstly check your ram, it may be faulty.

Hello the manual can be downloaded here:

http://www.mercury-pc.com/downloads_list.php?productid=684

Check the ram modules, and the graphic card.

How many beeps comes, when you start the pc ??

Here is a list of beep codes:

http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

One long beep is a ram module failing.
Try insert one module, and reboot.
The problem could also be, the power supply.

Motherboard power is on but cannot display screen, the monitor is black or no screen.

your problem could be almost any of your hardware components
the best way to detirmine wich one/how to fix it is with a process of illimination. You should do this by switching your hardware components with known good ones.
being a display problem the order i would test with is this.

disconect everything but the screen
swap screen for a known good one
disconect graphics card and try the onboard (if no onboard try another gc)
test psu (power supply unit) this can be done with either a psu tester, multimitre or try with another psu
try removing all your RAM, when you boot if your system beeps a couple of times you know that your motherboardand cpu are good. if it doesnt beep it is probably your motherboard or cpu.

One beep at startup - System does not bootup

You have what sounds like a RAM problem. Try known good RAM as a test. If it still fails, remove add on cards except video. Make sure that video card works. If it still fails to boot. Replace motherboard.

SOLTEK SL-65K2-CT Motherboard

The beep pattern is a beep code and is how the motherboard communicates errors during the early booting process otherwise known as the POST (Power On Self-Test). List restart the computer and listen for the pattern of short and long beeps. Soltek does not list the beep codes in their manual, instead they refer to Phoenix who manufacturers the AwardBIOS on your motherboard. There are only two POST beep codes; a single long beep followed by two short beeps (Video error) and anything else. Apparently anything else you hear *probably* refers to RAM problems. Since you?ve already tested both one of the remaining options is to install a *POST* card (about $30 to $50), boot the PC and read the hexadecimal error code for a more detailed clue to what failed. If you ask around you might find someone who has one and may be willing to loan it to you. Another option is to write off the motherboard since the cost of the test equipment it about 1/3 the cost of a new board. Let us know if you have any other questions and please don?t forget to rate the posing.
