I have a computer that is exacly like the one described here:http://forum.piriform.com/lofiversion/index.php/t5560.html

but the problem is that my computer doesnt have a video card and when it starts up the beeping sequence is
1 long beep 3 short beeps then another 3 short beeps and ends with 1 long beep.

i looked for every possibility, change memory sticks, cleaned out dust, and so on the capicitators are clean and shiny. can anyone tell me what is wrong with my computer.

Award BIOS: 1 long beep 3 short beeps means, that there's a problem with keyboard.

Ami BIOS: 1 long beep 3 short beeps means, that there's is error when receiving diagram map (video Rome o. video DAC o. no monitor found). 3 short beeps mean's, that there's error at the beginning of the 64KB memory.


Note: I translated error messages from Finnish text, so they are only rough translations.

Guys, I've learned something new on here more times than I care to remember.

Cheers, although I hope I never hear those beeps.

Go into bios and find "Halt on: All errors"

Change that to "Halt on: All but keyboard"

If it works you still have the on screen keyboard eh.
