K9vgm-v continuous beep on boot sometimes, reboot and it stops

Hi All,
Yep it's intermittent, the computer is now about a year old and never had a problem until about a month ago when on switching on, mid way through the boot process I got a continuous beep, I could still log in to my session whilst beeping all the while. re-starting the pc resolves the problem, until next cold boot it would seem and then, not always.
It's an award phoenix bios. I have 2 x 1gb dimms installed, is the continuous beep a memory problem do you know please? Is it possible that memory problems can be intermittent?
Thanks,
Brownster.

Hello HPSERVICE.
Do you get an error on screen?
Is there any pattern to the beeps?
Try a hard reset first. Here are the steps.
Shut down the notebook.
Remove the battery and AC power.
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds three times.
Replace the battery and AC power.
Boot notebook.
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. Have a great day.

Brand new X1 Carbon - big issue - screen corruption in BIOS/boot, constant rebooting and BSOD

Hi all,
I got a new X1 Carbon mid March and am now having pretty severe problems with it. It first started a few days ago with this within Windows:
Click to see larger
I rebooted it and it came good. Now today, it did it again so I rebooted it and it started not being able to boot. It would get to the first Lenovo screen where it says 'Press enter to interrupt normal startup' the screen would go corrupted and it'd reboot.
So I went into the BIOS to run Lenovo Diagnostics and whenever I press enter on Lenovo Diagnostics it just reboots again. Sometimes when it reboots, the green light on the power button flashes a few times, the keyboard flashes and then it all goes dark and does that for 5-10 times before booting.
Now most times (say 19/20 times) it tries to boot, it does 'Preparing automatic repair' but it is frozen and as you can see below it is broken:
Click to see larger
Out of the 1 of 20 times it manages to get into Windows, I get:
Click to see larger
In terms of specs, this is the highest end X1 Carbon with the i7, 2580x1440 touch screen, 8gb RAM and 512gb ssd if that helps at all?
The model# specifically is: 20A7-A008AU with a S/N of R9-009TXX (last 2 digits truncated).
All I have done so far is managed to update the BIOS before it crashed again. It has the latest version now from the Lenovo website, mid-March build I think. The drivers etc are all standard but it wouldn't be driver related as the reboot/corruption etc happens before Windows as well. I presume the 'preparing automatic repair' is a Windows function, but the same symptoms happen within the BIOS etc. I haven't got a photo of that as it reboots before I have the chance to snap a pic.
I've lodged a job with IBM (for some reason it redirects to IBM when you go to lodge a service call, is this normal?) but am hoping someone else knows of a quicker fix for me because it's difficult for me to be without a laptop due to my work.
If this is a replace job -- which I imagine it is as it seems to be hardware related to me, how often does that typically take in Australia?
Edit: Resized images to keep total under 50kb as per moderator request

I just got told that I have to wait 72 hours before I can lodged the claim because that is how long it takes to reflect that I upgraded the warranty. Even though I only bought the laptop brand new 3 weeks ago!
What a waste of $334 to extend the warranty this morning. Be warned all that if you upgrade it for the hope for a quicker fix you have to wait 72 hours for Lenovo to know you upgraded the warranty to next day onsite fix despite having the invoice etc for it and they won't even lodge a normal warranty claim because there is a new one coming!
I asked for a service number and got told I can't have one because they won't lodge the claim until the warranty database is updated! 3 week old laptop. Sometimes I wish I got a Mac so I could just go into the Apple Store and swap it there on the spot.

How come auto-rotate sometimes works, and then stops working until i reboot?

I am going to be as specific as possible simply because some people seem to have similar problems, but mostly they just can't get it to rotate. I have a 6, and for whatever reason it is finicky with auto rotating after going into an app. Say i am in messages in portrait mode and i exit in portrait mode. When i go back in in landscape mode it won't rotate without me first putting the phone into portrait, allowing the gyro (or whatever controls this) to reset, and then rotating it back to landscape. However, if i reboot the phone, it will work without issue for a short while, automatically detecting which mode it's in and adjusting itself accordingly, until it stops working again. This happens with most pre-installed apps like Messages, Safari, and Mail. Any help would be appreciated. I also get freeze ups from time to time while typing, where the screen isn't responsive at all after switching modes, so i have to rotate, and then back again to get the keyboard to accept entries.

The issue turned out to be the mouse. It was somehow shorting the USB ports. I tried a different mouse from restart rather than only after the problem began.

In addition to Chandra's steps , also make sure that the Shared Voting and OCR disks are visible from Linux1 and have the same device mappings as were before the Node reboot.
If the CRS stack fails to come up , you should be looking at the
following files to start with :
a) The OS Messages file to check if there are any messages logged from the
the time when you attempted to start the stack manually.
b) The /tmp mountpoint sometimes contains files names crsctl* which could
also indicate what the problem is.
c) The logs under
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/ocssd
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/crsd
$ORA_CRS_HOME/log/<nodename>/client
Let's know if there are any messages in these files which might help us analyze
this further.

P55-GD65 boots for 1 second then stops

My P55-GD65 worked lovely for over 2 years but now suddenly it does the following:
It boots for 1sec and then stops. During the boot led6 (of the CPU phases) flashes on and the fans start spinning. This process repeats itself every 3 seconds.
I did the following:
checked the PSU by disconnecting the 24pin molex, shorting pins 15 and 16, and verifying all voltages.
Disconnected the supply to all devices, except for the mobo, still the 1second boot behavior.
Removed the 4 memory strips and placed only 1 in the 1st black bank
Maybe worth nothing is that I never switch my comp off, but keep it in standby. Does this wear out some parts?
Somebody an idea what this could be? Or how to debug this?

Quote from: JoopBanaan on 16-March-13, 05:44:18
I did:
--clear cmos
--took another memory strip
--took another but old power supply with 20pins molex
--removed video card
all did not change the 1second boot behavior.
I fear I have to give up the mobo. Is repair a viable way to go?
No, probably best to replace the mainboard. If you buy the board from a computer shop, see if they will test the cpu and PSU for you if you buy the mainboard. Just to make sure.

No boot, continuous beeping

Hi All,
My wife's macbook air (13 inch late 2010 model) no longer boots. The screen does not come on (no grey boot screen) and when powered on there is continuous beeps. ~1 second beep, 2 seconds silent, 1 second beep. It will continue to beep as long as you let it. Pressing the power button turns it back off. The fan will start to run on high if the computer is allowed to keep beeping for more than about 10 seconds.
Any ideas? Thanks

Hardware failure; most likely bad RAM.

After ram upgrade, continuous beeps, but then boots ok?

I just upgraded my ram to 2 x 4 GB 1067mhz DDR ram. The brand is Corsair. Further details here: http://www.ebuyer.com/164771-corsair-4gb-ddr3-1066mhz-laptop-memory-cm3x4gsd1066. I purchased this ram for my macbook pro mid-2010. The comments in the link indicate it should work with my macbook.
Unfortunately - and I think it's to do with the ram - when I turn the power button, I get continuous beeps. But weirdly after holding down the power button (off), letting it go, and then turning on again a few times, the MBP will eventually boot up fine. Doing a 'system report' indicates the ram is operating 'OK'. Although I'm a bit skeptical about that!
I thought the ram might not be installed properly so I pulled it out and pushed it back in again. But still the same problem.
I think it's really odd that the MBP will eventually boot up, so I'm not 100% sure it's the ram.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

So-called value RAM like Corsairs value line or Kingstons value line are often problematic in Apple machines. Apple tends to set its design standards quite tight in terms of RAM for things like clock timing, latency and so forth.
"Value" RAM lines are in fact the exact same modules as used in companies better, machine-specific or configuration-guaranteed modules, but the value RAM failed the stringency QC testing required to make the higher level product cutoff.
All RAM tends to start out the same, and then the level of quality specificity or guarantee is based on various QC testing - the "good" stuff that places like Crucial or Kingston or OWC sell as system-specific passed or exceed all QC test limits as specified by the computer manufacturer. The value or non-system specific stuff is the stuff that did not make the grade for the higher QC standards (but it still may be okay in a system that allows sloppier specs than a higher end system like an Apple logic board's requirements).

IMac continuously beeps three times when FireWire HDD is attached

Hi there,
Whenever I reboot my iMac while my external FireWire HDD is attached to it, it continuously beeps three times in a row. I detach it, and restart the iMac, and voila, it boots again!
Any ideas why it can't boot while my FireWire HDD is attached to it? It doesn't seem to be a RAM issue as is specified here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2674?viewlocale=en_US

It could be a firmware issue with the firewire drive.
Have a look at the article in this link

Satellite P10-504: continuous beeps when it is turned on

My P10-504 emits continuous beeps soon after it is turned on. It will stop beeping and reboot itself but go back to the continuous beeps. The way to get it to boot is to hit F2 and go into BIOS and then exit, then it will boot up OK.
I have depressed the keys when booting up to see if it might be sticky keys, but that has no effect.
If I take the all the memory out when it boots up it beeps to tell me I have no memory. If only one bank is in the continuous beeps return.
The one then it tends to do in Windows is to automatically bring up the search tool and constantly refreshes the screen unless esc is hit.
Any ideas or other tests to do??

Hi,
I don't know where the problem is, but maybe you should try reinstalling the BIOS.
If it doesn't help please contact the ASP in your country.

Type dash continously and beep when booting

My Folio 13-1000eo continuously type dash "-" while in Windows and when I reboot it beeps but pressing escape get to the menu included in the HP Folio where I can edit the diagnostics application and from there I can get past the beeping as soon as I turn the computer on and boot to Windows.
It appears to me that there probably is a keyboard problem. I remove the dash-key but the beeping still persist so I would say that there isn't a problem with the key got stuck in some way. I've pressed on every key on the keyboard in order to release any other key maybe as a side effect resulting in this situation but it doesn't help.
What do you think, is this a keyboard problem leaving me with replacing the keyboard or do you think it is something else and do you have any idea how to troubleshoot this issue any further?
Kind regards
Björn Lindahl

PB G3 333 - Continuously Beeps - Won't Start-up

As the subject says - I push the on-off button, I hear the Mac start-up sound, the hard drive starts to whir, then a continuous beeping starts. Not just 1 or 2 or 4 beeps - but a continuous beeeep, beeeep, beeep, beeep ... The screen is black and nothing else happens.. The beeping continues until I pull out the battery (no problem there) and the power supply.
I have tried removing and swapping the RAM chips - no change.
Any ideas?

terry,
I am unfamiliar with that symptom. Here are the POST tests for your Lombard:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58183
What is interesting is if it were in fact one of the above, you would not hear the normal startup chime.
Since I don't know what the answer is, I would try the basics:
- disconnect any and all peripherals and remove the optical drive from the media bay;
- reset the power manager and PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
- if still a problem, remove the HD and see if it will start to the flashing '?'; if so, replace the optical drive and see if it will boot to a CD.

Error Message: Reboot and Select proper Boot device.

My HP desktop computer (model p6654y) will not boot directly into Windows.
I can ALWAYS make it boot into Windows by first pressing the F10 key to enter the BIOS. If I then exit the BIOS (without even making any changes), the computer will boot into Windows.
If I don't first enter the BIOS, the computer will USUALLY take me to a black screen that says:
"Reboot and Select proper Boot device. Or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key."
At this point it won't boot any further.
Also, the last message the BIOS displays (before the error) is:
"00 USB mass storage devices found and configured".
After that, all of the lines of text on the screen move up one level and then the screen goes black and soon after I get the Proper Boot Device error.
I do not have anything plugged into USB ports except an ordinary mouse and ordinary keyboard (both of which I changed - in case they were faulty).
My BIOS is set to boot from the Hard Drive first.
I reset my CMOS.
I do not have a CD in the CD drive.
It used to be that this would ALWAYS happen if I (1) Turned off the Computer, (2) Unplugged it for 60 seconds, (3) Plugged it back in, and (4) Turned it on. Now (after trying various things), it only SOMETIMES happens when I do this.
Any ideas?

Hello @GardenGuy1,
I have read your post on how your desktop computer is having a difficult time booting into Windows, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To further diagnose this issue, I recommend testing the health of your system's hard drive by following the steps in this document on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7). If the hard drive is found to be in good working order, I also suggest restoring your BIOS back to factory settings. This can be done by following this document on Recovering the BIOS.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!
