Subject: Blank screen on startup + beepsOS: .CPU/Ram: 450mhz k6 + 128mb |
Comment: I have a very frustrating problem and i was wondering if any could help??
I have just installed a motherboard with a k6 450mhz processor with 128mb ram and and 6Gb HDD. When i turn the Computer on i get a blank screen and continous beeps. I have tried a different CPU + Ram and it still does it!
Any ideas?
Cheers

Reply: (edit)The beeps are important, exactly how many are you getting? are the gaps in-between beeps long or short? Some people are like Slinkies™, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

Reply: (edit)Usually means one of your cards has worked it's way loose, check inside your case and make sure cards are seated firmly. Some people are like Slinkies™, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

Reply: (edit)Continous beeps usually means no RAM installed/detected. Most other problems give a set number of beeps, but check your MB/BIOS manuals.
