M58p at start-up double beep, no post screen, no splash

Hi there,
Yesterday my Avast antivurus crashed, which itself was very unusual. I have run a quick check and found a few trojans, which names I have forget regrettably.
I've scheduled a deep scan at the boot, reboot and left for work. Upon return I found the computer with a black screen, impossible to restart.
At the boot one can only hear cpu and chassis fan tests, then a double beep and then nothing. No post screen nor splash screens. Can't enter BIOS settings.
The monitor is OK. I've reset the CMOS and battery, to no avail. One  by one I have removed all peripherals trying to boot at each step, but the outcome was consistently null.
Dealing with such symptoms I would normally assume the motherboard is good to go to the bin, but the specific circumstances -  trojans and all this stuff - make me think twice. Could some trojan or other malware put me in such a mess? If so, what to do next?

Trojans shouldn't affect booting. I hear two beeps out of an M58 and I immediately reset the memory. M58s are sensitive to the memory sticks being jossled out of position. Completely remove your memory and re-seat the sticks in the same slots. Did that do the trick??

  • I was surfing the net when my computer started emitting double beeps. I shut it down with no problem but I can't find any info on double beeps that did not occur at startup (haven't tried starting it back up yet though). What happened?

    Quite the trial to sign in to freaking Apple support.  I apparently made an account with my primary e-mail, but damned if I can recover the password, apparently I don't know my own birthday.  So I had to make a new account with another e-mail, and even when I thought it was done, no, I had to fill out more information before I could get to this screen.  You won't let me ask for tech support from your message board without my mailing address?  Then my completely inoccuous user name was rejected for containing banned words.  Lemurs and cats are profane now, what?  This is why I hate computers.
    Anyway, I've got Mac OS X 4.something, can't check because it is shut down, and I already described my problem in the subject there before I got dragged back into account creation.  I searched several places for answers but all I can find are discussions about double beeping at startup (even when excluding the word "startup" from search results), while my double beeping started all of a sudden when the computer was in use.  The beeps were certainly less than a minute apart.  What happened? What do I need to do about it? Is it safe to start the computer up again?  Fortunately my files are pretty much all backed up.

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
    Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
    In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder.  in the dialogue box type
    /var/db/crls
    In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
    Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash.  It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards.  I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process.  It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
    I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem.  Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
    Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

  • Intermittent double beep and grey screen on startup

    I just installed new third party RAM for my iMac (2008), because it was on sale. The initial RAM they sent me caused a kernel panic (forced shutdown) so I assumed they were faulty and sent them back. I just received my second set of RAM modules - which appear to work -- kind of. I have not had the kernel panic screen and no problems once the computer is booted, however about every second or third time I restart the computer I get the grey screen and a series of double beeps (which I have found out means incompatible RAM on startup testing). The hardware testing utility on my OSX Disc tests the RAM as being OK. I found a free app called rember which reports RAM errors. My question is: have I got a second set of faulty RAM - should I be looking at getting another brand (the one I have is "Add-On" and was specifically marketed as being for the aluminum intel based iMacs).
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Machaon42
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    That sounds like incorrect or incompatible RAM, double check the spec's of that RAM compared to either your User's Guide or > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1760
    Then compare OWC's price, it is iMac tested and highly recommended by forum members.

  • No led,no backlight,double beep,no internal screen in windows.

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with my lovely t400. Few days ago the screen started to work badly. When i turned on the computer, screen was dark. When I connect it to ac and wait for a while the green led for power supply lights up. Today, I've done the same thing, but the led won't light.
    Hopefully i've got an external screen so i can work with my comp. I've checked the properties in windows, and there is only external screen. I've taken all the plastics from the screen and saw that led's are on but very dim. Also when there isn't external screen connected, t400 beep twice on the start up.
    Screen is ccfl.
    I've checked voltages on inverter:
    - there is 20v on input
    - on led is only 1,5v
    - on output is about 1v AC
    Fuses on MB are ok.
    I've ordered new inverter and its still doesn't work.

    If yoy are talking about the output to the bulb, it is AC, not DC. That's what the inverter does - it makes the AC to run the bulb. It is hard to diagnose without seeing it, but it sounds like your panel is bad.

  • My macbook air froze, after switching off and on again it started making a beeping noise. the screen is black. please help :(

    How do I stop the beeping sound on my Mac book air? The screen is black.

    What beeping sequence are you getting?
    1 beep - No RAM
    2 beep - Incompatible RAM
    3 beep - Faulty RAM
    4 beep - No good boot image in ROM
    5 beep - Failed processor
    With an Air you will have to take it to an Apple store genius bar to address any of those issues.

  • K9a2 v2 motherboard. no beeps, no post screen?

    I don;t know what's wrong. I reseated the memory sticks, graphic card and also the processor? I need help. what could be the problem

    I'm using the 780w OCZ watts. I also got that replace by the manufacturer too like 2 weeks ago, lol.
    You should tell us such kind of details from the beginning...
    So since received the newest PSU it didn't work either or worked for a two weeks?

  • P45 Platinum - No Beep but Post & Start Up OK

    Hello...
    When I turn on my computer it passes post, gets to the boot loader and starts up without any problems.
    However, I noticed that it doesn't beep after posting successfully.
    In fact, I have never heard any beeps from this mobo ever.
    This new build is about 3 weeks old, stock settings, and I am slowly working towards achieving stability.
    I guess I should also mention that in the first couple of weeks, POST would very often stall at "Decompressing BIOS image to RAM..." when I powered-up, re-started or pressed the reset button.  But there were never any beeps.
    (Red-red-green-green if you refer to the group of 8 LEDs beside the internal reset button.)
    This problem is much better now - I haven't stalled in several days....but still no beep.
    My old PC would beep once after post and move on to start-up....Have I just gotten used to hearing the beep?
    Or is the "no beep" something I should be concerned about? 
    Any info would be much appreciated.

    HA!  Problem solved....and I feel like an ass!  So sorry...I totally went blonde for a bit there!  I just assumed there was an on-board spkr on the P45.  (My case didn't come with a spkr.)  Anyway, I was able to salvage a really old spkr from the graveyard of computers at my work...the 2" tweeter type!  Hung it in the rear area of the case with a cable tie.  It doesn't look pretty...but it works!  Thanks!

  • After downloading Quicktime 7.7.4 for Windows I keep getting four double beeps ever 10-15 sec.  When I uninstall the software, the beeping goes away.  Any ideas on what is causing this?

    After downloading Quictime version 7.7.4 for Windows on my Dell Inspiron Ultrabook with Windows 8 installed, I keep getting 4 double beeps ever 10-15 second.  However when I unistall the software the beeping stops.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome!
    You have several thing at play. The first, most likely to cause a crash, and easiest to fix is that you have Safari in the wrong place:
    Path:            /Users/Rich/Desktop/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari
    You have the Safari Application on the Desktop but, to work correctly, it must be in the Applications folder :
    Path: Macintosh Hard Drive > Applications.
    Second, you have some third-party plug-ins or extensions that can cause trouble. Try deactivating DivX---it is known to prevent videos on Apple's web site from working. Also turn off the EverNote extension until you as sure everything is stable. Check for an Evernote update.
    See how things go with Safari in the proper place and with extensions turned off. Then turn extensions back on one at a time and test for stability
    The fact that you are running Flash 10.3 makes me think you have a newer iMac than covered in this forum. PPC Macs can run no higher than Flash 10.1, so you may be in a forum for models older than yours. Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and see what the processor description reads. If it includes the word "Intel," you should post future questions here:
    iMac (Intel)
    There is also a separate forum for Safari troubleshooting regardless of what model Mac you have:

  • Double Beep at regular intervals on Satellite P100 series

    Hello,
    I just bought a Satellite P100 Notebook.
    The Notebook makes a double beep every few minutes, even if I unplug the power supply.
    When I turn it off, the beeping continues.
    The speakers don't seem to work, even though the volume settings are all on.
    Thanks for some help,
    Cheers Larso.

    Hello Larso
    Did you install own OS or you use already preinstalled factory settings?
    In my opinion those things should not happen and if I were you I would contact local dealer and confront him with those issues. The unit is new and before you start any kind of troubleshooting check this with dealer.
    The only thing you can try is to preinstall unit with recovery media. On this way the OS will be clean preinstalled and you can check if the problem persists.

  • Double beeps on Compaq dc7100 CMT

    Hi, my motherboard HP 929 REV. 0H S28 makes a long double beep every couple of seconds when I'm trying to start it up.
    Computer only had mb, cpu and a power supplier installed when I got it, I've put on new thermal paste, 2x1G of ram + a new hdd but I can't find any instructions on what does those beeps mean.
    When I push the power button sometimes fans take one spin, stop and nothing happens or it starts up with beeping as mentioned but with no bios output or any screen reaction.
    Changing power suppliers for tested (good) one is not making any difference.
    Any ideas?

    Hi:
    Please see the troubleshooting guide at the link below. Appendix A, page A-15.
    Indicates a processor thermal issue.
    http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00189283/c00189283.pdf
    If none of the steps listed resolve the issue, I would suspect the motherboard is toast.

  • R61 will not power on, no beeps or POST

    My R61 only blinks green power / amber battery for a second and will not turn on.  No beep, no POST.
    Recently the original battery in the R61 went from about 60% capacity to 3% capacity overnight.  Since I had purchased used, I suspected the generic power supply I had bought about a year ago when I got the R61.  I ordered an authentic Lenovo power supply, but still got only 3%.  All was well since I was using the Thinkpad plugged in to the Lenovo power supply (also worked with generic) but about three days ago the laptop would not power on.
    My roomate suggested that the bad battery might be to blame and that I should try it without the battery.  I tried it, but still only get green power / amber battery lights for a second and then it shuts down.  I have already tried the 10 power button pushing with 30 sec hold after and no response.  I just re-set the RAM and back-up battery (also 1 yr. old) to make sure they had not been jostled loose.
    Would a new battery help or is the R61 damaged?  Don't have much cash, so don't want the possibly damaged R61 to ruin a new battery.  Any ideas or is my best bet to buy another R61 / T61 and make use of my RAM, DVD, and HDD?
    P.S. I know there are similiar threads already, but none have a solutions and they are about 3 yrs. old.

    I know this is hard to take but that product line has had known board failures because of it design and chipset. There is basically nothing much you can do to resurrect it at this point in time once that problem has appeard. The most likely failure of this model line was the video chipset that would fail on these boards. If the problem was caught earlier and the heat sink was redone that might have prevent the video from failing causing no boot in your case. But that is what I see and read that these units had lots of video chipset failures and only two of which I fixed the thermal sink on one that is still running and another cleaned out much of the dust as I could and is still working. So I think once this model line hits the black screen boot that usually means it's a gooner.

    It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the exact model, size, year built, RAM installed and OS you're running. A little history will also help.
    "it beep"
    If it's 3 beeps that's usually a RAM problem.

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

  • ASN Received Quantity is getting doubled after GR posted in ECC against SNC

    ASN Received Quantity is getting doubled after GR posted in ECC against SNC inbound delivery.
    This behaviour is same in MIGO and also in VL32N.
    Would appreciate if any one who implemented SNC got this issue.
    Thanks,
    Mahesh

    Hi Mahesh,
    I have face this issue when GR information is sent to SNC 2 times.
    We are using RSMIPROACT report to update GR status to SNC in that we have notice it does not check that ASN GR is sent to SNC.If you execute RSMIPROACT report 2 times then it will show GR quantity in SNC double.
    If you execute 3 times then will be show 3-times there is no check in RSMIPROACT report.
    You are getting issue because you are sending GR information multiple time.
    Solution for this is execute once day(midnight job) then  you won't get this issue.
    Thanks,
    Nikhil
