Continuous short beeps boot

Hi, you can download a manual here:

http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?pMODEL_NAME=AI7&fMTYPE=Socket 478&pPRODINFO=Manual

The fault could be the cpu, wrong type of ram, a faulty ram module
or a fault in the mainboard.
Check all the settings in the manual and the bios aswell.

Here is a list of beep codes:
Basic Beep Codes for ABIT AWARD BIOS Motherboards

1. No beep at all - this means your motherboard is dead, either due to a defective or underpowered power supply, poorly seated CPU or RAM, or a dead-on-arrival board
   
2. One beep - board is working fine
   
3. One long beep then machine shuts down - faulty, improperly installed or missing CPU
   
4. 1 short(Beep) System booting is normally
   
5. 2 short(Beep) CMOS setting error
   
6. 1 long - 1 short(Beep) DRAM ERROR
   
7. 1 long - 2 short(Beep) Display card or monitor connected error
   
8. 1 long - 3 short(Beep) Keyboard Error
   
9. 1 long - 9 short(Beep) ROM Error
   
10. Long(Beep) continuous DRAM isn't inserted correctly
    
11. Short(Beep) continuous POWER supply has a problem
    
12. A two-tone siren, generally caused by overheating or out of specification voltages
    
13. Four beeps then machine shuts down. This is because this version of the BIOS will shut down your machine if no fan tachometer signal is detected on the fan header. Make sure you attach a fan to the FAN1 or FAN4 header or clear CMOS to reset to default (no checking).

Hi.
Do this solution first in the motherboard only processor installed need no memory.then power on your PC.if your motherboard no continues beeping.that need replacement of parts specially capacitor
leakage,became big or burn parts.
See beeping code.

Beep Code:
Description of Problem:
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

Check the the cpu, ram and video card are seated properly. If they all are, then the board is defective and will need to be replaced.

Let me know if you found a solution to this because im having the same
problem.

what is the stop code that you get? It will look something like this

0x00000000007b

Also have you tried connecting a usb keyboard?

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/larry_1fe25e09c54eece2

I still did not find beep code that match your problem..

Anyways here are the common beep codes for your motherboard.. it might help you too.
1. No beep - no reaction, the mother board is dead, power supply problem, processor and or ram problem.
2. 1beep - board is working fine.
3. One long beep then it shuts down - cpu problem, your processor is not working or missing.
4. 1short beep - system boots normally
5. 2short beeps - CMOS setting error.
6. 1long 1short beep - dram error
7. 1long 2 short beep - video card or monitor not connected
8. 1long 3 short beep - keyboard error.
9. 1long 9short beep - ROM error
10. Long beep - memory card is missing or not connected
11. Short beep - power supply error
12 Four beeps - there is no fan detected on Fan1 or Fan2 header. make sure to attach or reset CMOS bios to factory setting.


Hope this gave you an idea of your problem..

Much appreciated if you rate this help..thanks..

That is an indication that the "s" key is stuck on your keyboard. (permanently pressed down...or making contact).
Try to manually move it out of its current state, even though it doesn't seem to be stuck.
That will solve your problem.

Using the manual for the Gigabyte GA-945P-S3 MB. Go to page 71 & you'll see bios beep codes for your board: AWARD BIOS Beep Codes 1 short: System boots successfully 2 short: CMOS setting error 1 long 1 short: DRAM or M/B error 1 long 2 short: Monitor or display card error 1 long 3 short: Keyboard error 1 long 9 short: BIOS ROM error Continuous long beeps: DRAM error Continuous short beeps: Power error As you can see there isn't a code for three short beeps. When you boot your system try to pause your boot up screen. See if the bios is reporting the correct total of memory in your system. Bios codes from the link below. http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm#05 3 beeps for the AMI bios code reports Base 64K RAM failure. You can test your memory. Go to memtest.org Scroll down the site to just under the three screen shots. Download Memtest86+ V2.11 You have a choice in making a bootable floppy disk or a bootable CD-ROM disk. Once completed you boot your system to the testing program. Memtest will check your system memory. This should help. Thanks for using FixYa! Mike

given the symptoms, it points to motherboard.. if it was processor, video or ram. it wouldnt boot at all and you'd just get error beeps from your laptop. i'd first try resetting the bios, by removing the bios battery for 30 min, then putting it back in. if that doesnt work try changing it out, usually costs under 8 bucks. if that doesnt work then I would change out the motherboard, if its cost effective.

Hi,
i can help you with the Post-Code Beeps.
AMI Bios= 2 Beeps. Parity error In First 64k Ram. ( reseat Memory ) Post Failure 1 or more Of the Hardware test Have Failed.
IBM Bios= 2 short Beeps. Post Error ( Memory Possibility ) review screen for details.
AWARD Bios Codes = 2 Short Beeps. Any Non-Fatal Error. Enter CMOS setup to reset.
I,d go for Memory ( RAM ) But first enter bios setup Usually F2 Or Delete escape et,c. Reset to defaults, and see if that solves your Problem.
