Tower Beeping Hi Guys, I am using the Samsung SyncMaster 152N and every time I try to turn it on the tower just keeps beeping and nothing shows up on the screen. I haven't used the computer in a couple months but I haven't moved it either or done anything to it. I checked to make sure everything was plugged in right and it is... Is there anytd? I can do? Or is my computer officially dead? Please help! Casey

The beep codes have nothing to do with dust, They usually signify a memory, video, etc. on the motherboard. The BOIS manufacturers (Phoenix, American Megatrends-AMI, IBM, etc.) have their own beeps codes. You can find them online by searching beep codes.

If it's not turning on? - Most times its the memory. Open case and reseat DIMMs. Take static precautions!

Hi,

What is the exact model of your Dell Studio, A beep code can mean any hardware failure. Post the model of your Studio here and we will post what your beep code means.

Thanks for using Fixya.

I believe from my own past that the beeping sound is an over-heating alarm, and that you need to get more fans installed inside. Try taking off the door to your tower, and point a fan in on it and turn off the computer, wait about 5 minutes with the fan set to high to see if that solves your problem. If it doesn't then I suggest you take it in to the shop or wait for some more possible answers on here.

Hope this helps!

Hello

That beep could mean alot of things, but probably a VIDEO CARD or RAM has become unseated.

If you feel comfortable with this, UNPLUG THE COMPUTER take off the case, remove and reinsert the ram chips, and the cards. You might need a screwdriver or two, and a LIGHT. The ram tabs are small.

Good Luck

Re-seat the memory.. more than likely they have unseated themselves during the dust cleaning. Beeping is usually caused by memory.. Beeps are usually a series like Morris code long..short beeps.. if re-seating the memory doesn't work, try swapping and removing different sticks and differnet locations on the motherboard, most motherboards have 2-4 memory banks or known as dimm slots.

the beeping is post codes. they are telling you something is wrong. the code is a code for what is wrong like 3 beeps 4 beeps 1 Beep then repeatsthat code is 341. first thing i would do is pull out you ram and reseat it. that is the most common problem.

If you added more memory this may make your tower beep.
If so I WOULD REMOVE THE ADDED MEMORY AND THEN RESTART

there is something that defect on the main board power input.

This LCD can work at 75 Hz refresh rate, btw much more healthy for your eyes, you can change it accessing Control Panel -> Display -> settings -> Advanced -> Monitor -> Screen Refresh Rate -> select 75 Hz.
