ABIT BIOS beep codes

[Sir Golitech]

Basic Beep Codes for ABIT AWARD BIOS Motherboards

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) Ram/Video and or Keyboard Error

9.) 1 long - 4 short(Beep) Possible PSU problems

10.) 1 long - 9 short(Beep) ROM Error

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

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

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

14.) 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).

Just trying to help and share. Please feel free to add ones I might have missed or correct me on ones that are wrong.

will the beeps mentioned above b the same on this mobo a8n-sli deluxe asus?

That is basically the same for each board. However, there are variants in beeping from the original IBM posts, Post AMI and CompTia A+ systems.
