Hi,
I'm trying to fix a friends pc. The problem is on boot up it beeps 3 times and displays no picture.
At first I thought gfx card (it has onboard gfx), so replaced with a spare one I had, still same problem.
Then with the help of the OCUK community I figured out what mobo/ram it was so replaced the ram, same issue.
-Pentium dual core
-Intel mobo DG33BU (http://ark.intel.com/m/products/5037...specifications)
-Onboard graphics (not sure of details)
-1gb ddr2 800mhz ram
-Sata hdd
Any ideas what this could be? If it is onboard graphics issue then how come putting in a new one didn't fix it?
The manual states this...
The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during
POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or no card installed) or if an
external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero. Table 12 lists the BIOS
codes.
Table 12. Beep Codes
3 beeps........ No memory
Siren.......... Processor overheat (on reboot)
