Problem with new motherboard - beep code - Abit P35

kalzath · 27 Oct 2007 at 14:55

Hi Guys,

Just got an Abit P35 with a quad core Q6600, 2 x 1GB OCZ Platinum memory, ATi X1950, and once the PSU, CPU, MEM and Graphics card are plugged in, im getting long beeps seperated by 1 second pauses.

Anyone got a clue? Tried reseating the CPU, heatsink, and tried with a single memory stick, still the same.

Thanks

Does it not say in the manuel?

If not then you must systematicaly work it out.
If you take out 2 sticks is it the same or does it change. try with gpu as well see if the beeping changes.

Forgot to mention:

When turning power on, everything spins up for 2 seconds, then the motherboard powers down, then powers back up and then you get the long beeps.

The power down and back up is not a fault. Its just the abit boards (except the pro) have the rebooting bug. But i beleive it is fixed with the latest bios or almost fixedl ol.

The manual has no beep code listing at all, which is really annoying.

It's also the same with 1 stick of ram

What about no ram and no gpu

TO be honset. You should have just stoped being lazy and used google. It took all of a few seconds:

That's a generic beep code list and the described beep is not in that list.

We've already tried all the options. Taking my rig to work so PSU and GFX can be tested before RMAing the board.

Just to update. The beep code (long beep with 1 sec pauses) is telling you the PSU isn't sufficient.

My Antec Neopower 480 booted it no problem however.
