K7T Turbo Ver. 3 Long-Short-Short Beeps

I am trying to put together a computer for friends for a christmas present.  I have hooked everything up and now I get three beeps when I start the computer:  LONG, SHORT, SHORT.  What does it mean?  How do I solve it?  The motherboard is an MSI K7T Turbo Version 3.
Thanks,
Josh

I just want to know what the beeps mean.  Obviously it's an error message.  The monitor won't even power on and I"m guessing that the rest of the computer doesn't start up either.
IT doesn't matter what the graphics card is because I"ve tried more than one.
The CPU is a CPU that worked for well over a year with the motherboard.  The hard drive doesn't matter because it made the beeps regardless of whether or not the hard drive is plugged in.  The RAM is 128mb 133mhz and it was what was in the motherboard before when it all worked.
Does anyone know what two short beeps and one long beep means???

  • Fail to boot (short-short-short-long beep code) after M92p BIOS Update

    Hi, 
    I recently updated my BIOS to the latest version using the System Update tool from Lenovo. For a while everything seemed to be working alright, as the BIOS was dowloaded and the computer rebooted. After rebooting the first time i was presented with the BIOS utility, and noticed that the update was progressing. 
    After 20 or so seconds the computer rebooted again. This is where my problems began. The computer immediately started beeping this short-short-short-long melody from the speakers. I thought this was normal, so I left the computer on for quite a while. 
    However, the beeping never stopped. Now the beeping resumed the instant i plug the power back in. I have yet been able to actually getting any sort of information on-screen telling me what's wrong. 
    I've tried following the "Recovering from a POST/BIOS update failure" on page 267 of the Hardware Maintenance Manual, but no luck with that so far. No matter where I place the jumper, the beeping code is the same short-short-short-long melody (yeah, it sounds like a disney tune or something).
    Any bright ideas? The machine type is a M92p 2992-B3G
    I'd hate to have to send it in for repairs, and Lenovo's Norwegian support line doesn't open until Monday, and there seems to be no way to call their 800-number in the states from here
    Oh, and would this be covered by my warranty if repairs / motherboard replacement is the only way out?
    UPDATE #1:
    I found this in the manual;
    3 short beeps and then 1 long beep DRAM memory
    error
    Perform the following actions in order.
    1. Make sure the memory module(s) are properly seated
    in the connector(s).
    2. Replace the memory module(s).
    3. Replace the system board.
    This is pretty much Lenovo's way of saying "You're screwed", isn't it?
    UPDATE #2: 
    I've now tried pretty much everything;
    The solution as proposed on page 267 in the Hardware Maintenance Manual
    Unplugging all cables and harddrives before booting
    Removing my PCIe video card and PCI Wireless NIC before booting
    Removing all memory modules, and trying 1 and 1 module
    Moved a memory module from another machine that I know is working
    No luck so far. 
    Ideas would be welcome at this point

    I'm glad to hear it's just a simple memory error, however the original problem in this post is a bit more than just a memory problem.
    This became a problem after a BIOS update, so somewhere along the way one of Lenovo's developer screwed up badly, and it's been bugging me ever since. There's absolutely no way for me to use any PCI-e card with my M92p. 
    I've tried 6 different cards, 3-4 different memory module combinaties, with our without harddrives plugged in, and every thinkable combination of these.
    No luck. Therefore, I simply conclude that Lenovo are dicks, and we all know what dicks enjoy doing; **bleep**ing people over.
    I've given up on the issue, and I'll never buy a Lenovo again after this.

  • Long short short beep code then no boot when trying to reboot???

    I recently ran the recovery CD to get it back to factory condition and the same problems persisted (that I'll describe below) which indicates to me that there's some hardware issue. I've had the same issues before and after recovery was run.
    When I start it, it often starts just fine as long as it hasn't been on for at least an hour.  It seems to have memory management issues.  It hangs up, gets bogged down easily, hangs, crashes, etc.  It also seems to run hot.  There are quite a few programs that I was able to run when it was working well that it no longer tollerates. 
    If I reboot after it's been running for a while It makes three beeps (Long short short).  The screen goes black, the hard drive spins a little, but that's it.  I have to turn it off for about an hour or two before it will actually start up at that point.  Keep in mind, it doesn't start out at 100% and deteriorate.  It starts out at about 40% of what it used to do and deteriorates from there.  In needs to be rebooted about once a day. 
    Sometimes if it's hibernating, it will make the same beep code when I wake it up (Long short short) and most of the time it won't wake up from there. 
    So, can anyone tell me what that beep code refers to?
    Has anyone else experienced similar problems?
    Does anyone know which part is bad and if it's worth trying to fix it? 
    Thanks!

    I am having the same problem....i do believe its a memory problem..??

  • Lenovo H330 Beep Code: 1 long 3 short and blank screen

    I have an issue with startup, every now and again my startup initiates what sounds like 2 long beeps followed by 3 short ones - 'beep-beep' + 'beep+beep+beep' - but from what I've seen, throughout online discussion, it is only 1 long beep followed by 3 short ones. After this tune is played my screen remains blank, and on another attempt of start up the PC runs fine. Any ideas?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Since the computer's behavior changed after re-seating the memory I would double check the memory slots.  Remove the memory and shine a flashlight into the slot to see that there is no debris in the slot and that the contacts look fairly shiny.  Also look at your memory module contacts.  You can lightly rub these contacts with a pencil eraser to insure they are clean.  Just be sure there is no eraser residue left on them before re-inserting them into the computer and avoid touching the contacts with your fingers. 
    If the above doesn't offer any help then try booting the computer with just one memory module installed.  I assume you have two in there.  Then see how it boots.  If it boots Ok then swap the module for the other one.  If both of them boot Ok by themselves then move the memory module over to the other slot and try booting up the computer.

  • Just to share GREAT Experience with Lenovo Service with T61p one long two short beeps

    Two weeks ago my laptop just suddenly died for no reason. It was in sleep mode and never woke up. I have researched some forums and found that the best thing to do is try to call the number of Lenovo service. I cannot remember it right now, but please check another thread t61p and one long two short beeps. The laptop was out of warranty and according to lenovo site it was 31. July was the last day for replacement claims, however nobody asked a question regarding warranty or replacement. Lenovo sent the box promptly and whole turnaround was in 3 days.
    I was really surprised with efficiency and service.
    So, if you are in the same situation please give it a try.
    Good Luck!

    I have used support service a few times and they have always been professional and helpful the support center in Ga. I called last night for my wireless card its on the way to me now I've never had any problems

  • P67A-G43 B3 1 long 2 short post beep

    From the troubleshooting guide:
            Continues beeps or 1long 2short beeps = possible memory error
            • Try re-seating memory or test with different memory
            1long 2short or 8short beeps = possible video card problem
            • Try re-seating video card, test system with known good video card
    1 Long, 2 Short       A video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot intialize the video screen to display any additional information
    I am trying to use a Radeon HD 6870 with a P67A-G43 B3. Is this not possible and do I need a different motherboard?
    Additional information:
    This is happening during an external build test with only the CPU, Memory, and GPU installed. The CPU is a i5-2500k, the memory is Kingston 4Gx2 KHX1600C9D3K2/8G, the GPU is a Saphire Radeon HD 6870. When I plug in a monitor I get no display information.
    This is the VGA test report for the motherboard: http://us.msi.com/file/test_report/TR1_2342.pdf
    My GPU is not listed but when I used PCPartPicker I was under the impression that it would only pick compatible parts for my computer. It's looking like I need a different mortherboard but I would like a confirmation.

    Wow I feel really stupid now. So when I used both of the 6pin power plugs I got a single post beep.
    Thank you for all your help now if you have a little more time I wouldn't mind additional help.
    When I start it up and successfully get the single post beep, on the monitor it says "CPU or Memory Changed !!!" and says press f1 to run setup or press f2 to load default values and continue.
    is this normal?

  • POST beep sequence: 3 short, 3 long, 3 short

    This is a business computer replacement, so I need it fixed (or never broken in the first place).
    This all happened today.
    I purchased, unpacked, setup, and performed updates.
    The computer had random screen artifacts and was unresponsive.
    Questionable "Power icon" alerting me it needs to shut down.
    Upon boot, 9 beeps are heard: 3 short, 3 long, 3 short
    I'm not impressed with windows pcs, but Apple shouldn't push updates if they're not fully tested.
    I don't know which OS, the computer never gave me a chance to look : /
    I'm assuming Snow Leopard since I just bought it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Bob, and you're right, 10.6.2 right on the box!
    Apple Support is calling me in the morning, but if I get restless, can you please send me a guide? I still don't think it's acceptable to have this issue. This is really a computer for my parents business, which they bought at my recommendation. They need it ASAP and are already ****** that it isn't working on the first day. I'm just weary of a static discharge, which would place the blame on Apple to me. Which I'd rather not have.
    Does anyone know what the other 2 sets refer to?

  • S10: 1 long + 2 short beeps + Crash

    Last night I left my S10 ideapad plugged in downstairs (last activity was about midnight).  At 6:00 a.m., was awaked by a loud alarm, 1 long + 2 short beeps, repeating.  System was unresponsive (had to remove battery to stop the beeping).  If the beep codes are similar to other Lenovo laptops, this is a generic beep code for system board or display or BIOS (not very useful, heh!)
    Anyone else see this? 
    Early adopter problems to be sure, so no real complaints (other than frustration) but just seeing if anyone else has seen this. 
    Since I got it: 
    - Updated to latest XP patches 
    - Installed MS Office and AIM Lite
    - Upgraded display driver via Lenovo website (PuTTY didn't work until I did that) 
    Tried to use ThinkVantage auto system update, but it doesn't seem to connect to their server (might just be that they haven't loaded S10 stuff up there yet).

    Welcome to the forum!
    There are a few Lenovo employees roaming around in here helping out on a volunteer basis, but this is not an official support channel. Instead, this is designed to be a user-to-user support and discussion forum. You may or may not get an answer directly from one of the Lenovo employees as there are way more of us than them and all of them, even Mark, have full-time jobs doing other things.

  • New board 4 beeps: 1 long, 3 short

    Hi Forum,
    I just installed the P35 Neo2 board with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66 processor, BFG Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS and 8 GB of Patriot DDR2 800 dual channel memory.  I am able to boot OK, enter setup and also was able to sucessfully install WinXP SR2 to my reformatted C: drive.  The only thing is that I get 4 beeps on POST test, 1 long, 3 short.  What does this mean?  Thanks.
    Zaffer

    Hi Jack the Newbie,
    Thanks for the tip.  I tried booting with no USB devices -- got no beeps, then I plugged in 2 devices -- got 2 beeps.  I guess that's it!  Thanks.

  • R7850 PE 2GD5/OC causes 1-long-2-short beep code on 990FXA-GD80 on some startups

    Sometimes (usually after the desktop is shut off for a while), my GD80 board will do the 1-long-2-short beep code, and then continue booting, but the monitor display isn't activated.
    Shutting down and turning it right back on however has no beep codes, and the display turns on as-expected. Turning the system off and unplugging the power for a bit, then plugging it back in also doesn't result in beep codes and the display works.
    So basically, there's some GPU-related issue that seems to only affect a cold start, but not entirely sure what. According to this, the beep code is a "Monitor or display card error".
    The GPU itself seems to work fine with a stress test under Linux.

    I RMA'd the card already, so I just hope a replacement fixes the issue.
    I'm not too certain how frequently it occurs or the exact ways to reproduce it, but the issue seems to only occur on a cold start. So if I shut my computer down, sleep for some hours, and come back to turn it on, the issue occurs (where the GPU doesn't seem to come on with POST, motherboard beeps, no display output).
    It happened since the first time I started using the hardware (I haven't used the motherboard or GPU previously; was waiting on a CPU). The GPU was a RMA already from MSI.
    Couldn't test the components in another system. However, I'm using an old Radeon HD 2400 PRO currently in this computer and it starts up fine from cold starts.
    The GPU had some other weird issues with it (hard-locked the system when the screen suspended, and wouldn't work with a UEFI VBIOS), so I'm thinking it was just faulty. On the other hand though, once the computer was on and the GPU actually running, everything else was fine (stress testing and games were fine).

  • Satellite P500 PSPG8E - Bios peeps 3 time - one long two short

    Hello,
    I have a question: when I power on my Satelite P500 PSPG8E I get 3 Peeps: One long two short!
    What is this, maybe Memory?
    Thanks allot
    Greetings from Germany
    Michael Burkhardt

    Hi Michael,
    I dont know what this beep code means exactly but as you wrote, it could be a RAM issue.
    Do you have two modules installed? If yes you should try to start your notebook with one module only and test each module in each slot to determine if its RAM, RAM socket or something else.
    But if your notebook is under warranty the repair would be for free if you contact an ASP in your country. ;)

  • PwermG5 on/off icon flashes 3 times; short short long

    What shd I do....on/off icon flashes 3 times; short short long??

    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.
