1 Long Beep, 2 Short Beeps video card error


1 Long Beep, 3 Short Beeps video ram fails, or DDR2
1 High Pitched Beep, 1 Low Pitched Beep (Repeating) = CPU OVERHEATING OR BAD CPU

1 High Pitched Beep (Repeating)= CPU OVEHEATINGOTHER BEEP CODES, BAD DDR1 MEMORY.

17 YEAR BEEPS OUCH HARD TO FIND.

Could be a memory, video, or virus issue. If the computer boots up and works but keeps beeping then you have a virus. If the computer doesn't boot it's most likely a hardware issue.

Hi there,

It differs between manufacturer slightly but usually 1 long and 2 short beep codes often means that there is a problem with the video card/graphics card of your computer. This could be bad news for a laptop, as most of them do not have discrete video cards that can be replaced.

check for the error beep if you hear continues beep it means issue with the memory. check the RAM if it is properly inserted to the slots and if it is compatible to the motherboard. if you hear 2 or 3 beeps it means issue with the video. your video card maybe not compatible or not properly inserted to the slot. your motherboard has a built in VGA/Video card try using that first. try connecting the main components memory/RAM, power supply, KB and mouse, VGA card(optional you have a built-in) then check if there is a display or if it booted. then one by one add your other components you want to add. just to trace the problem.

Does it beep at all?
If so, read up on beep codes:
Different PC manufacturers have different BIOS Boot codes.

Disconnect all devices from the power supply EXCEPT the motherboard
Remove any extra cards including video etc.(plug monitor into the onboard)

If you hear any beeps these can indictate where the fault is.

Power up the pc and see if the fans are working.
If not then double check the power connections to the board.

If you still have no fans it is time to suspect the power supply as the probable cause.

If the fans worked then you should have gotten a display which told you there was an error and offering you a chance to go into the BIOS. ignore it and shut down the PC.

Now connect one drive only and boot again.

Repeat that until you identify the component that is giving you a problem.

Once you find the problem then remove or disconnect and carry on with the rest to see if another component might also cause a problem

If there is only one problem device then you may want to investigate that device further, Unless you don't mind replacing it

This code usually refers to a Video card or RAM issue. Try reseating both the video card and then RAM to see if it fixes the problem. If not then try removing the video card and rebooting. If the system starts without the beeps then you'll know the video card is bad and you can replace it. If it still beeps then try removing the RAM one stick at a time, rebooting after each removal. When it boots you'll have the bad RAM stick isolated and can replace. Hope this helps.

Yep, problem is with the video card. If it's a desktop you can pull the video card out and install reseat it back into the motherboard to see if that fixes the problem.

Let me know.

Try getting into the BIOS and making sure that it is detecting the RAM and HDD and Processor. Typically this happens when theres no memory or a memory problem. If its the Hard drive it will say NTLDR missing or Hard Drive failure. When its blank.

Does the Hard drive fire up when its sitting there? Does it seem like it booting the Hard drive or does it just sit there.

Also, if you have an onboard Video and a video card, try using just the onboard video for now, sometimes the Video card can cause an issue if it doesnt have drivers and comes up blank.

Make sure the bios has the video set to PCI or AGP depending which you have intstall. Or Auto if it has it.

I have had two Gigabyte board and im using one now and have had similar issues that where caused by a ATI video card.

Good luck and let me know if you still need help.
