Hi

Just finished sorting out my lads pc. He wanted an Asrock K7VT4A Pro board putting in, his old socket 462 board died.

When booting up I get no post.

I get 2 short beeps, short pause, 1 more short beep.

Any ideas. ?

I am scouring the interweb, but your all so helpful on here I thought I would ask in passing.

Cheers

I know it's simple but take the ram out and clean any dust and make sure the 1 or more sticks are seated properly in the slots, it is possible to put ram in and clip it down but it might not be properly seated which could prevent booting.

I am looking at the manual here:

Please follow the manual to make sure the jumpers are correctly set for the CPU you have fitted to the motherboard.

The FSB jumpers must be set.

sounds like display adapter problem, the actual beep codes do vary depending on the bios manufacturer, but from memory the beeps you describe would seem to indicate a display problem. If it was ram, that is if it thought there was on ram installed (or it wasnt fast enough) you would get a continous beep.

On a AMI Bios, it's most certainly ram related. How much ram sticks do you have in there? If more than one try one at a time to see when the error comes back.

I will be trying all of your suggestions when I get in from work this afty.

More beeps than my looney tunes road runner DVD

My main concern was that I couldnt find the exact combination of beeps. I have plenty to go at now

Cheers you kind and helpful folk

I will keep you updated as to my progress, and maybe buy you all a beer if I get it sorted.

Fit 1 stick of memory only if more than 1 on board And fit in correct slot see mobo handbook
