Hi, I've tried to upgrade my machine from an athlon to a Sempron. At re-start, the hd cd and dvd lights went on, as normal, but no screen on the monitor and a beep of one sec followed by a 1 sec of pause, in countinuous sequence. Can anybody provide the error code of this beep? There is not in the Manual and I couldn't find it on the Internet. Thanks in advance Liviu
I can't find a manual or any info on your motherboard. If you can tell me who makes your BIOS I can probably get you the error code.

You may need to reset the cmos on jbat1 terminal with the jumper across pins 2-3 then back to pins 1-2, then boot up and reset time,date and hdd, press f10 to save and exit. this is all assuming your board supports the sempron processor as well as the athlon

Thank you, Sandrew,
Another detaail that I've forgott to mention:after trying the Sempron cpu and getting the error beep, I've switched back to the original cpu and I've got THE SAME 1 SECOND BEEP!
And I reset the bios a couple of times ! with both cpus !No result, the same beep.
That's why I was asking for the beep code.

Thank you Tomj23!
Tomorrow I will have this info;right now I'm at work and my machine is at home.
Many thanks, Liviu
Good day,
Unfortunately I cannot find any information on the mb manual regarding the BIOS type.
The only new information I can provide is regarding the beep parameters; is beeping 2 sec and between two beeps there are 5 sec.
Maybe somebody can figure out something... what means this.
Thanks, Liviu
