Re: Help With Boot Problem

Mike,

When you are viewing the event log, double-click on that line of text and it will show " in english - text" what it means
I double-clicked on one of MY 1003 errors and this appears:

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Dhcp
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1003
Date: 1/25/2007
Time: 2:05:44 PM
User: N/A
Computer: AMD3200
Description:
Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0015Dxyxyx. The following error occurred:
The semaphore timeout period has expired. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

You can then click on that msft link so explanation of 1003 error:

Thanks all for the suggestions. I will try them in order. I'm not familiar
with the even log viewer so wasn't sure at what I was looking at or what it
all means. Here are some of the errors I found around the same date/time
period. I have no idea what they mean. I don't know if it means anything
but I noticed two sets of Logon failures then a success. Would that account
for the three times the computer tried to boot to Windows (the two
unsuccessful times (two beeps) and the successful time (third beep)?

Bob1's suggestion about the single beep during posting being a DRAM Refresh
Error sound possible since this is on an AMI BIOS. I always thought a single
beep was the "All OK" signal but I guess that is only Award Bios systems.

Anyway I'll test and play with the RAM first. If anyone can tell me what
the Event Log stuff means I would be grateful. I know just enough about
computers to get me into trouble. I'm not a tech at all so any help will be
appreciated.

Thanks very much, Mac
