Re: Start Up Beep Resulting in Shutdown - SOLVED

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks to everyone who give me advise on how to solve my problem. After
trying everything, including resetting the CMOS, I temporarily plugged in an
old CPU, which was removed from another PC after making noise, into the
motherboard and got PC to start up. Then I went into the bios and disabled
the automatic fan shutdown.

Looks like I need to find somewhere more CPU fans since Fry's do not carry
them without heatsinks. Anyone know a source?

After running for months without problems, PC beeped for over a minute or
two while inactive and then shut down. Tried to start and only get a short
beep plus a long one before it shuts down. Will not show anything on the
monitor. Disconnected the video card, put different ram in, disconnected
the hard and floppy drives, and disconnected the CDROM separately with
still the same problem.

I do not know if this influenced problem but I changed last week the
setting in the Bios to Turbo but PC ran properly until now.

I am running a Soyo Dragon Lite, Athlon 1700, Award Bios, and WinXP-Pro.
All fans are working and even replaced the CPU fan but without ability to
connect to motherboard, but instead to power cable.

Looked on Award Bios pages to see if the one short and very long beep
meant anything with no help.

Can anyone help me?
