This website has a listing of beep codes depending on the BIOS you are using.

Hi princess.. sounds like a 'a flounder' messed up bios with no place to go. I can sent you a non commercial free booter that will either arise if from the dead? Or not. then might be a bios issue.

Howdy:

Two beeps would indicate a memory problem.. Double check to make sure it is proper for your system and that it is fully seated.

Also, if it continues to show the error after you have checked this, take the ram out and have it tested.

Hi there,

I'll say....... the ram in that thing looked like a salad.

I saw 4 different style none matching and one empty slot.


One of the 4 pieces of ram is sitting by itself in a different location on the mb. Would that be what is referred to as "base" ram?

thank you kindly,
