ASUS A8S-X beeps sometimes on startup!

Hi I have an Asus A8S-X mainboard sometimes on startup it gives me one long beep and then 3 short beeps. I Believe this is faulty memory. Weird that it is only sometimes?! I presently have 2 sticks of 1gb each from corsair installed (VS1GB400c3) Any help you could offer would be appreciated! Cheers, Bernard

    Thanks JustAskMe,

    I have looked more closely when removing & reseating the video card (x1950pro) the second DVI output is pushing on one of those nobby things (Capacitor?) What kind of idiot designs a board with a bunch of capacitor thingys in a row at the end of the damn PCIe slot! Arrgh! Check out this pic from Asus and you will see what I mean! http://www.asus.com/999/images/products/...

    If you could email me any suggestions I would be grateful... This sites biggest weakness is no ability to directly message the helpful people here!

    my address is [email protected]

    Thanks everybody!

    I have managed to "flex" the capacitor out of the way a couple of millimetres and the card is now fully seated!

    Something should have twigged when cpu id only gave PCIe x8 being used with x16 being capable now it shows both values as x16 Yay!

    So far so good have deliberately restarted the machine a coupla times and it's booting flawlessly now!

    Didn't relise there was a chat feature.. cool (my first time here)


    Thanks again JustAskMe & Dinoza

Hi 1 Long, then 3 Short Beeps: Video error The BIOS is unable to access the video system in order to write any error messages to the screen. Diagnosis: This is usually caused by a problem with the video card, or the memory on the video card. Remove your video card inspect it for damage and then re insert it. Try rebooting and see if the error remains. If so replace the battery on the mother board and try a different video card. If you have a video card built in then remove 1 srick of the RAM and re boot. Do the same with the other stick. If the error still remains then there is a fault in the Mother Board I hope this helps!

    I will do some digging on the website and get back to you.

    I wonder if you may have bumped the capacitator and damaged it???

    I agree with you on the design.

    Have you tried replacing the board battery?? If not try that sometimes the easy fixes are the ones overlooked.

    Believe me I DO IT ALL the time no pride here. That's how i learn, from making mistakes.

    I will get back to ya soon.

    Have a great day!!

I have a P5K Deluxe asus mother board error beeps no visuals
Two beeps is usually the video card.
Do you have a spare video card to change out?
This is why people keep obsolete PCI video cards for just such tests.

1 long beep and then 3 short beeps
Hello here is the homepage:

http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P5KPL-AM%20SE&p=1&s=22


Here is a list of beep codes:

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

It seems to be a graphic card problem, or the power supply not giveing enoug power.

Try to change the graphic card.

If you are useing the onboard graphic, look for bad caps on the mainboard:

If they look like this, the mainboard is dead.

Good luck

Check your Cooling Fan. Sounds a LOT like the fan is getting Sluggish and not cooling the Board Properly.

Hi,

Please double check the heatsink & cpu fan if its properly installed, sometimes the heatsink doesn't firmly sit or flat on the processor, and also try re-setting the CMOS.

I have an Acer v5-471 and I set HDD password via bios, when I enter it trying to boot, I get an error. How can I fix that? I used phoenix securecore tiano bios to set HDD password (4 digits if relevant) and when I exit to reboot, I enter the same 4 digits as promoted and get HDD PASSWORD INVALIDATE error, I don't know what to do, is there any way I can fix this, preferably without losing my data. I don't have wifi service and I've got 300gb of data with no way to redownload that much feasibly. Alternatively is there a way I can maybe copy the files from mine to another via a tool, other is, etc? Thanks so much
