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.
Windows 7 Home Premium
MSI Mainboard: AMD Socket 970A-G46 CrossFireX
Sentey Power Supply and Coolers
Power Supply- BCD450-0C
Coolers- 1 XFan210mm and XFan80mm x 2
DDR3- G.Skill Ripjaws X- F3-12800CL9D-863XL
Graphics Card- Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6450 Series- GV-R645-1GI
I hope this is enough information.  Now, can someone tell me what is wrong with my PC?

  • T61P died, 1 long beep - 2 short beeps problem - Do the updates from Lenovo KILL our laptop?

    Hi all
    I bought T61P from 2 years ago, everything is ok until yesterday, I turn on my laptop and nothing display on the screen, and with this :  1 long beep - 2 short beeps....
    I make some search, and found a lot of people have the same problem, and almost happend from September - 2009 to now.
    I asked my self why this problem does not happend in the 1st year of using T61P...and this only happend from September - 2009 to now? DO THE UPDATES FROM LENOVO KILL OUR LAPTOP?
    My laptop is out of warranty, and I hate to replace another mainboard.... If I must do it, I will throw my laptop to the Trash, and never buy another Lenovo laptops.

    so far it looks like a strict hardware problem, not related to updates. however, some manufacturers try to "cheat" with bios updates - they make fan to run at higher speed lowering the mainboard temp. This does not solve the problem per se, it just makes laptop survive beyond warranty expiration date, so you, dear customer, will have to foot the bill.

  • Why my mac beeps 2 short beeps ?

    Why my mac beeps 2 short beeps , it happens once or twice or maybe more a day ? Is that means there is a problem with it ?

    Perhaps SMC and PRAM resets will help:

    I view that as an 'undesirable' noise.  If the above does not eliminate it, my prior suggestion of an Apple Genius bar or AASP appointment is the best option.

  • I have a JVC GY-HM100U and when I try to get the video files (MP4 format) off of the the SD card I get the error message OSStatus error -12909...any thoughts?

    To be more precise: You MUST shoot in mov. Then drag the Clip bins from the card to you hard drive. Then drag the clips to FCP timeline and FCP asks you if you want to change to the right codec and of course you say YES. Now you can start editing. Can not be more simple. This camera was specially designed for use with FCP.

  • Mac Air is dark and emits three short beeps/three long beeps/three short beeps ("SOS"). What does this mean?

    Mac Air was left on power attached to a monitor overnight. In the morning there was a message that I had to turn it off by depressing the "on" key for over then seconds. I did this and it would not turn off. It is now emitting three short beeps followed by three long and three shorts ("SOS" in morse code). What does this mean?

    If what I read is correct, you will need to take your MBA to Apple to have its firmware restored.
    I cannot explain why this happened.

  • RAM Failure? (3 Short Beeps, 3 Long Beeps, 3 Short Beeps)

    Anyone have any idea what 3 Short Beeps, 3 Long Beeps, and 3 Short beeps when starting the computer mean? I heard it might be RAM failure? Could that be the case? How much has it been in the past? Computer's a Late 2010 13" Macbook Air with the Core 2 Duo. Thanks.

  • Editing long clips into short clips and naming them differently

    I've got a long clip that I'm trying to break up into lots of shorter clips and give different names to. So I loaded the clip into the timeline, press Control-V where I want to cut, and then drag that clip back into the Browser. But every time I drag a new one to the Browser and rename it, the names of the other clips change to be the same as the just-named clip.
    What am I doing wrong? What's the easiest way to do what I'm trying to do?

    RE: timecode when capturing.
    Timecode is always captured (DV in this case) as long as you do not use 'non-controllable device' as the capture protocol. When you use 'non-controllable device' no timecode is delivered even if it did exist on the tape.
    Put another way, if there is TC on the tape, Capture Now will bring it in as long as you have 'Firewire' or 'Firewire Basic' (whichever is appropriate for your capture device) selected.
    There is one other way to capture full tapes and still get individual editable clips (and I HATE subclips ...). Squarebox makes a simple app called Live Capture Plus that will capture a complete tape in one pass then break the resulting large file into individual clips based on start/stop detection. It works quite handily and will allow you save your drive mechanism if you are using your camera as a deck (and Canons are not known for robust tape subsystems). If you combine LCP with CatDV you have a robust cataloging system as well.
    Good luck.

  • Need help in diagnosing 1 long beep 2 short beeps

    I know this usually means video card is bad. I need to know if disconnecting internal video cable on working system will give the same symptom to help isolate problem between display and video card
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    not exactly sure; the 1long + 2short beep diagnostic is somewhat generic, it could be almost anything (on the mainboard, including GPU).
    and Lenovo ThinkPad Beep Codes and ThinkWiki Beep Codes have conflicting information about the 1long/2short
    you haven't said what machine, but assuming it's a T6x series,  do you have it docked with an external video card?  the onboard GPU is not socketed (it's soldered to the mainboard), so the only way to disable it (that i'm aware of) is via the BIOS (assuming an external video adapter in a dock is also available for further troubleshooting).  i don't think that disconnecting the display panel (flat) cable is likely to help diagnose the problem, but while you're at it, you might want to make certain that it is seated/connected properly.  i know that where the display cable connects to the socket on the back of the lcd panel is a tight fit, and the connecter itself locks into place (when mated).  you've checked the lcd cable for damage and/or proper connectivity, i assume?  what about external monitor to the VGA port... have you tried that?  FN-F7 key presses may be necessary to toggle the video hardware b/w the internal/external displays.

  • 1 long beep 3 short beeps

     My motherboard keeps beeping this message to me and i am wondering what it is saying can anybody help.
    I have a k7t turbo model number 6380e so if  you can help please answer.

    Are you sure K7t turbo with model number 6380E?
    Nevertheless, the beep means your display card is undetected or not installed properly. Double check your display card, and make sure it is slotted into the AGP slot fully, firmly. Of course you might need to push a little bit of force towards the motherboard :D
    Here is one example, if you're using some Radeon 8500, the DVI-out port is positioned way too low at the bottom, and some casing design might block the card from fitting fully in properly.

    it is a ram issue.  most likely faulty.

  • Equivalent rect long and short sides

    Not so sure if anybody else already came across this problem or not. Any suggestion is welcome.
    I have a simple isolated object to be fitted into an ideal rectangle which will then be used for a metrology purpose in following step. I was trying to make use of the equivalent rect long and shot sides from particle analysis operation, but it seems the particle analysis always gives a same value to the long side and short side. Attached picture shows the calculation results from vision assistant. I tried to calculate the equivalent rect sides from the given area and perimeter. The results tends to become complex values as the perimeter seems smaller than it should be(i.e.. P^2 smaller than 16*A). It may be one reason to produce same value to equivalent rect long and short side.
    PS: the expression for calculation of equivalent rect long and short side in the page: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372916L-01/nivisionconcepts/particle_measurements/ seems not right. It should be (P-sqrt(P^2-16A))/4, rather than P/4-sqrt(P^2-16A).

    Hi paris_sun,
    I am assuming you are using the latest version of Vision Assistant 2011 SP1.
    I would just like to clarify what you are trying to achieve. This is to measure the long and short (length and width) side of a rectangular shape in your image by using:
    Processing Functions: Binary >> Particle analysis
    Something I could suggest is to play around with a more definative rectangle and see if this helps. I have tried using a rectangle and the measurements have come out fine.
    The shape you are measuring happens to have the same size dimensions i.e. a square.
    Where are you acquiring your image from? And are you expecting it to be a square?
    With regards to the formulas being incorrect I will look into this for you.

  • 3 short beeps (*not* on boot)

    hello,
    today my mac mini early 2009 began to beep: 3 short beeps every 15 seconds or so.
    i've found searching here that 3 beeps on boot means a problem with RAM, but the curious in my case is that it boots up normally.
    the beeps begins a couple of min after i log in.
    does this still mean ram, or something else? i couldn't find out.
    running 10.9.1.
    many thanks,
    paula
