Comment:

A friend dropped of her HP Pavilion 513x. It will not boot.
When I fire it up I get what sounds like 1 long beep followed by 2 short THEN constant beeping.
The first post beeps occurr so fast together, it is hard to tell.
HP tech support was no help.
I have tried the usual, reseat, clear CMOS, etc. The machine has onboard video and an AGP slot (tried a working AGP card as well).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chad

If you are able to take out the memory sticks, clean the contacts lightly with a clean pencil eraser,then reseat your memory,that is one of the first things to do.

What is the BIOS?
Award or AMI.
For me it sounds like Memory, But 1 then 2 beeps would be video.
Go to this site to find more.
