1 long beep the 2 short beeps, and no screen dv9000

hi everyone,
Ive got a dv9000 (its a dv9341eu)
AMD 1.8ghz turion64 x2
When i turn it on it beeps 3 times and the screen does not come on, i can hear the fan turning if that helps.
I want to know if its the graphics card or the motherboard or CPU. ( i dont want to buy a new motherboard in case it turns out to be the gpu)
Is there any definate way of finding out?
thanks, sam @ scunthorpe computer repairs

probably the graphics card, but will need the P/N to be sure

  • Long beep and Dark screen when I start

    Hello there!
    I just bought myself a new gaming computer for the summer, Iwe spent about 10.000KR, thats about 1,500Usdollars, but I cant get the damned thing to work, so Im posting here hoping you experts could give me some suggestion about what to do. And by the way, Iwe build a couple of computers during my time, but lost the hang of it, and do not posess too much knowledge about the newest of hardware =)
    So, lets get on with the problem;
    I build the pc myself, and after plugging in the various power cords and such, I hear a loud beep that won't stop when I press the power button, and a blank (or dark if you will) screen.
    Now, all Iwe connected to the mainboard is the screencard (In the topmost PCI express 16x), one SATA-disk (In slot 5), one 1gb DDR2 chip (In the left-most green slot), and one CD-rom (By an IDE-cable in the yellow IDE-slot)
    I think the problem is that Iwe connected some power-cords wrong, or that I dont got the right ones. The ones Iwe connected to the mainboard is a 24-pin (into the ATX1 slot), one normal "thingy" (Uhm, like the ones you put into HD's and CD-roms, normal 4-pins I think its called) into the JPWR and one 6-pin into the JPW - Besides that Iwe connected the HD and CD-rom with normal 4-pins.'
    So my questions is as such;
    Do I need an 8-pin to the JPW instead of the 6-pin I got?
    Do I got enough power in my PSU?
    Do I need to connect more or less power-cords?
    Have I forgot something?
    Should I buy a new (and more appropriate) PSU?
    The specs of the computer is as following, and I apologize the links, but as said, im not as good as I should be:
    Mainboard:
    975X Platinum PowerUp Edition - http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=267&maincat_no=1
    PSU:
    Hiper Powersupply ATX 480W Black, 14dB  Type-R,120mm Fan,2xSATA,20/24pin - http://www.hipergroup.com/English/products/hpu-4m480.html
    CPU:
    Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4GhZ - http://www.intel.com/products/processor/core2duo/index.htm
    Screencard:
    GeForce 8800 GTS - http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_8800.html
    Ram:
    Twin Mos DDR2 PC6400 1024mb
    I thank you for any help you may provide
    Sincerely
    Dag Christopher
    Edit:
    Just figured out the problem, I forgot to connect the last 6-pin rectangle to my graphics-card, making it a total of 4 cords just to the graphic and mainboard.
    Anyhoo, thanks to you who tried to help, it got my mind started

    Yes, I can see that now..
    Iwe plugged the 4-pinned square plug into the JPW and also unplugged the CD-rom and HD just in case.
    But I just tried it, and I still get a loud beeping sound that wont stop (until I turn it off) and a blank screen..
    All Iwe got connected now is the JPW(4-pin square), JPWR(normal 4-pin) and ATX1(24-pin)
    Thanks for the tip, sadly it wasnt enough :P..

  • 3 long beep and cannot open MacBook

    I just bought a new MacBook and I am a new Mac user. Each time I turn on my Black MacBook 10.5 it won't open and it keeps beeping 3 long sounds. I need to hold down the power button to switch it off then turn it on, then it open. Is there any problem in my MacBook? What I will do to eliminate the sound and to open smoothly?
    Thanks.

    I also have the 3 long beeps and gray screen. This is incredibly frustrating just before a business trip to Dubai.
    I eventually figured it was a RAM problem, I upgraded my Macbook to 2 1GB sticks in November and everything worked fine. Now it is the 22nd of Jan, used Macbook last night fine, this morning it wouldnt start, 3 beeps and gray screen.
    I heard someone say the RAM could have been dislodged so i opened up the back and removed the ram and reinserted it..
    NO CHANGE, still beeps 3 times and doesnt startup.
    So i removed one 1 GB stick thinking it might be faulty, surprise, it works on just 1 GB, leopard starts up fine.. great but i want to use both sticks!
    I shutdown the computer..
    i figured it might be that stick which was bad, so to check i swapped it with the stick i removed and restarted, also works fine..
    conclusion not bad memory...
    thought it might be the port, so i swapped the stick into the other port and restarted, leopard starts fine...
    Conclusion: Not a bad port
    So tried both sticks again then believing nothing was wrong, 3 beeps pop up leopard doesnt start,
    Conclusion for some reason leopard is now not accepting 2GB, it will only boot with 1GB.
    This makes no sense, I have a Macbook Intel Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz machine.
    There is no reason why it suddenly stopped working with 2 GB.
    I am at a loss, and considering backing up all my files and reinstalling leopard next week after my trip with a complete format. Although this shouldnt be nexxessary and may not change anything. Otherwise take it into an apple store and see what they say.

  • HT5860 What about if when I start up my MacBook Pro it makes 3 short beeps 3 long beeps and 3 short beeps.  Or is that the same as 3 long 3 short 3 long?

    The screen does not turn on and makes 3 short beeps 3 long beeps and 3 short beeps again then turns itself off.  Well I just tried to turn it on again and now there are no more beeps but instead just a black screen.  The LED light in the front of the laptop is on and not blinking.  Does anyone know what be wrong with my laptop?
    Also this is a 2010 model I believe

  • Won't start up - 3 long beeps and 1 short beep repeated

    As I was watching Netflix, the display went crazy and displayed horizontal lines and the computer froze.
    I held the power switch down to shut it off.
    After restarting, seemed to work fine for a few minutes, then same thing happened.
    Reset again. Seemed to start up fine (heard the chime and the hard drive going) but no display output.
    Reset again. Got the start up chime, a white screen with horizontal lines, and I get 3 long beeps and 1 short beep repeatedly.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    The beeps you're hearing means the system has no usable memory. You can try reseating the memory or swapping for other known working memory (pain as it is to open the mini up). Otherwise, typically that means it's new logic board time. See this Apple article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547

  • H57M-ED65 with i5 cpu - added HD and now we get 1 long beep and 2 short beeps

    So a friend of mine has a MSI H57M-ED65 that he added a 2 terabyte sata drive too.  Everything has worked perfect with this board for about 3 years.  they turn it on and now it gives a beep of 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. No Video.  Now I have seen the beep codes but it doesnt add up.  I have removed everything and reseated.  They do not use the onboard video, if I remove all the memory and power it on the board recognizes the fact no memory is there and gives the correct codes.  I have checked all connections but the only thing online I see is it says possible video problem.   Doesnt really add up and I checked the few connections that had been un plugged and everything is correct. 
    Has anyone ever seen this problem after putting in a drive?  Oh yea also I have unplugged the dvd and hd's and still get the beeps.  If its still video issue I am going to assume it has to do with the onboard video cards because with out the other card installed it still gives errors.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Extra 1GB RAM causes 1 long beep and 8 short beeps.

    This is my first post, and I am having problems installing the maximum 3GBRAM on my KT4AV L mobo. I bought 3 1BB sticks from crucial, all PC2700. Each stick is ok. The first two work with a 512MB stick in the 3rd slot, but when I try to add my 3rd GB stick the computer cant get past the 1 long beep and 8 short beeps. I have tried adjusting the voltage to 2.7, (didnt try 2.8, as someone in another thread thought it might be unwise for life of RAM.)
    Is there a solution to this? havent updated my BIOS, but I am nervous about doing this because I have heard it can mess everything up. Any advice will be welcome.

    Well, I can't guarantee the whole amount of RAM will fit. It ought to, but that is all I can say. Grayone is saying this as well as I but shorter.
    I have two more reasons for wanting you to get another PSU:
    - This is not particulartly quiet, 26dB idle is nothing to shout about. http://www.qtec.info/products/product.htm?artnr=14321&specs=1 (Please note the little word "peak" - that is not the same as "max".
    - I speculate in that you think you need this much memory because your system isn't working up to the level of the in-built parts. The PSU has hindered efficient use.
    How much would you like to spend?
    Prices are for comparison only!
    The Tagan 480W seems to be 1000 Sw kr.
    "My" Zalman is about the same.
    Antec is a very good, quiet and reliable brand, and I'd say more powerful and feature-rich than both the Tagan and Zalman - for that money you'd get: http://www.antec.com/specs/true480_spe_EU.html and for half of it you might get this: http://www.antec.com/ec/productDetails.php?ProdID=07483
    Hiper and Sirtec/Chieftec and Seasonic are other good brands - Sirtec I'v got in one system and that is running very good and quiet.

  • I hear 1 long beep and 2 short beeps and I get no video.

    I have a MSI mainboard AMD socket 970A-G46.  When I turn on my PC, one long beep and two short beeps will occur.  Second, I will not see any video.  What is the cause of this and and do I get to the BIOS menu on this mainboard?
    Also, sometimes the my PC will go to sleep mode on its own and when I press the button to get it out of sleep mode, it will not go out of sleep mode.  What is the cause of this and how can it be solved?

    Here is the information about my PC.

    I hope this is enough information.  Now, can someone tell me what is wrong with my PC?   

  • T60 exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen

    Hello all,
     i own a thinkpad t60 with ATI radeon x1300 graphics card. I read through your complete "T61p exhibiting 1 long and 2 short beep and black screen" thread and I have the same beep problem with my t60. Let me briefly explain you how the beeps occur in my system:
    My t60 had this problem after I initally formatted my system and this 1 long and 2 short beeps used started occuring. But the strangest fact is that after those beeps and blank screen, the power light in the indicator light group is on along with battery and ac power lights. But then when I repeatedly switched on and off the system, the sequence of beeps dont occur all the time. Then I completely switched off the system and when I booted the next times I started pressing the ESC keys after pressing the on button. Most of the times ( 8 out of 10 times), the first 4 times it produced the same beep codes but after the 5th time, the system turns on.  All those 5 times, I kept on pressing the ESC key once I powered on the system.
    Also, every time I'd a chance I did run the pc doctor to find any pro blem with the board or video card, but every time it turned out to be fine. So now,every time I turn my system off or use a stanby/hibernate whichever turns the screeen off, on immediate reboot it comes out blank but with the power indicator light on.
    Here by I also list any changes that I'd made:
    1. I reformatted the system and only then this started to occur.
    2. after reformatting lsat time, I forgot to change the boot sequence but now I;d fixed that by pressing F9 under startup in bios.
    3. I'd also once replaced my RAM with a different one (have 4gb now, but I suppose t60 can support a max of 3gb). WIll this be a problem?
    4. And in the recent times due to the ati3duag.dll BSOD has occured. Any idea what this error might be due to?
    5. Due to all these uncertainities, I havent updated tot he latest ATI driver which is 8.593 * and I still have the 8.293* . Will updating to the new one be a problem?
    I appreciate any help or guidance you can give me in this matter and I badly need to fix it for my projects.
    Thanks
    Vishak

    I think your best way of diagnosing this is to remove the new ram and install only one chip, if the problem persists, try the other. If the problem persists, then I'd try booting from a Linux LiveCD (any will do but I'd recommend ubuntu.com). boot with the option to not change anything on your PC. If you get this same problem when booting linux, then you know it's a hardware problem, in which case I'd remove as much hardware as possible, drives, cards, etc... if it still persists, then you most likely have a bad system board. In this unfortunate event your best option would be a used one. A new one would cost more then the laptop is worth, but used T60 boards are pretty reasonable, I just found one for another member and could probably help you find one to if necessary, but lets hope it's just a ram chip. And by the way, your system is limited to 3GB, but in the chipset, and in your 32bit OS they came installed with. You can install 4GB, but it won't be able to use it all.

    Unfortunately the app isn't avaliable in the Australian store only avaliable to download in the UK store, very confussing as it is definitely not in my iTunes or on my iPhone. I don't understand how or why it managed to get to updates. I just want to delete it or at least get rid of the notification badge for it.

    FTTC how long after the cabinet is installed and populated before orders are accepted?
    My exchange was originally to be FTTC enabled March 2012 then June 2012 then September 2012 then December 2012 and now .... wait for it March 2013. The dates are starting appear somewhat arbitrary. 
    A couple of weeks ago the FTTC cabinet was installed and populated, however just this week the FTTC enable date was pushed back from December 2012 to March 2013. Does it really take another six months after the caninet is installed and populated to enable to sevice?
    I have said with BT and not moved to the likes of Sky or Talk Talk (which would be cheaper and on the face of it offer increased speed) because my exchange was soon to be FTTC enabled.

    Before 4.0 I could right click on an open tab and start a new tab. Now the option to do so is no longer on the right click menu, and I have to click the plus sign if I want to open a new tab. It is kind of bugging the hell out of me. Is there a way to fix it other than uninstalling and reinstalling the old firefox? Because this is a big part of the way I browse.

    You can also use ctrl-T or File > New tab (if you have the menubar showing). I can't find an extension that will help you bring back the previous behavior but there probably will be one soon.
