Hi guys, i just got in and tried to boot my PC (which im sure i left on overnight...) so anyway, i get 1 LONG BEEP tone by the sounds of things.

The mobo in question is ABit FP-IN9 .

can anyone shed any light on what it could be? as im currently working on my 5 year old acer laptop and its not cutting it lol.

any help reading the code/troubleshooting would be appreciated

E6600
2GB Ballistic 5300
Abit FPin9
SATA 150GB Seagate 7200.10
SATA pioneer DVDRW 18x
8800GTX 768mb PCI-E
SB Audigy Zs2

thanks

1.) No beep at all - this means your motherboard is dead, either due to a defective or underpowered power supply, poorly seated CPU or RAM, or a dead-on-arrival board

2.) One beep - board is working fine

3.) One long beep then machine shuts down - faulty, improperly installed or missing CPU

4.) 1 short(Beep) System booting is normally

5.) 2 short(Beep) CMOS setting error

6.) 1 long - 1 short(Beep) DRAM ERROR

7.) 1 long - 2 short(Beep) Display card or monitor connected error

8.) 1 long - 3 short(Beep) Keyboard Error

9.) 1 long - 9 short(Beep) ROM Error

10.) Long(Beep) continuous DRAM isn't inserted correctly

11.) Short(Beep) continuous POWER supply has a problem

12.) A two-tone siren, generally caused by overheating or out of specification voltages

13.) Four beeps then machine shuts down. This is because this version of the BIOS will shut down your machine if no fan tachometer signal is detected on the fan header. Make sure you attach a fan to the FAN1 or FAN4 header or clear CMOS to reset to default (no checking).

check the DRAM voltage.
Sounds like it has reset to defaults or it could be dead/dying RAM as Micron D9 is a wee bit susceptible.
