First do you know hat bios you have? The beeps are a way the bios has of telling you where to look. What is the beep code it is giving. (ie. 1 long 2 short)? If we know the bios and code it is giving it would help greatly.

What sorts of problems can this indicate? I think it is (1 long 2 short) actually. Will have to get that info soon, away from Comp at pres.
thnx

Hi, what did you just install? Win2k or a 2.0Ghz cpu? A TV tuner card or a video card?
If you put in a 2.0Ghz cpu then maybe your m/board will not accept that speed, or jumpers have to be set to accept it. Beeps usually mean something has been replaced wrongly or not seating properly.

I installed a ledtek TV tuner... Yeah thats what I thought too, that if I hadnt put in slot right then it would beep. so I removed but still beeps.

Yup, the beeps are not a nice sound, are they coming from the m/b speaker/beeper, are they regular morse code type? How about checking a m/b site that gives the beep codes and the probable faults linked to various beep messages.

The BIOS beeps were 1 long 2 short. which according to the BIOS beep tables " http://support.iwill.net/beep.htm " was to do with the "Display card or monitor connected error".

Thanks guys I tried my monitor on another comp no probs, then took out my AGP vid card and put back in, still beeped, then held the monitor cable into the socket as I rebooted, and finally after trying a few boots and different angles the damned thing workd.

Unfortunately must be bad connection.

Much appriciated.
