G'Day All,
I found this web site when I done a Google search for beep codes,it's really a good site and very helpful.So now if you have a problem with your computer and it starts beeping you can check this web site and it may tell you why.

Cheers

Yeah tell you why then you can throw away the motherboard!

Always remember the 8 beeps one...throw away video card
1 and 3 beeps throw away memory sticks..

Thought 1 beep was normal on start up.
Quite often 3 beeps means take out memory sticks, blow dust off motherboard sockets. wipe stick contacts, put back, and she fires up.

G'Day,
Yes 1 beep is normal,but lets say you get 1 long beep and 2 shorts beeps
according to the beep code on that web site you have "Video" or "Graphic card" problems
