[NEED HELP] 1 long and 2 short beeps

I have built a new pc and I almost finished and Im using the z97 msi gaming 7 motherboard. When I turn the computer on I starts up but then shuts down again.
The beeps I'm getting is 1 long and 2 short which I think is the video card or something, which i have reinstalled (it may be just 2 beeps aswell. 1 long beep when starts 2 when it shuts down.) The beeps are very quiet.
After it has shut down it will start itself again many times until I have to switch off the PSU. I have tried reinstalling the GPU's as said and the RAM. If you need any info on what parts I have just tell me.
I have also tried another pair of RAM sticks I had lying around, but I still get the same error so I don't know if the problem is the RAM.
When I completely remove the RAM sticks theres 3 long very loud beeps, but the computer doesnt turn off.
When I remove the two msi 970gtx gpu's completely and use the hdmi from the motherboard I still get 1 long and 2 short beeps before it powers off and then restarts the process until I switch off the PSU.

Okay, I have checked the pins and reinstalled everything. All of the pins seemed fine and I cant see any scratches on the motherboard anywhere. I did some breadboard testing (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/289442-30-motherboard) and following this it seems like there is something wrong with the RAM. The system beeps 3 times without any ram, but when I add one stick of RAM (8GB) it starts up but doesn't beep. It also doesnt beep if I add in a GPU. If I remove the stick of RAM and just leave the GPU in there I will beep one time very loud (louder and longer than before). When I had it installed in the case it would beep for startup once and then beep twice for videocard error and it would shutdown and then restart, but now It will just keep running until I turn off the PSU. I have tried with another pair of MEM sticks which should also be compatible with the board but it stil doesn't make a sound. I have tried my current PSU on some other parts and it will run just fine (don't have a second PSU). Any thing else I should test?

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

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).

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.

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).

890fxa-gd65 1 long 2 short beeps

Hello all,
I have a 890fxa-gd65 and a xfx radeon 6870 HD in a new computer that I am trying to get running. I get 1 long and 2 short beeps at power on. From what i read from the forums it is a video problem. I know for certain the card is good. Anyone know what might be going on. I want to update the bios but obviously cannot with out video. Or can I? Anyone know of a way i can update the bios without video, and without having to buy another video card? just fyi, I know that the power supply is also good.
Any help is appreciated.
One other question. I am new to MSI boards and was wondering what to do about the 6-pin video power plugin on the board itself. The card already has two 6-pin connectors so im not sure if the board plug needs to be used or not. I have tried booting with and without it so i dont think its the main issue, but i would still like to know what to do with it.
Thanks,
Derek

One long 2 short beeps

First off I have used nothing but MSI as seen in my sig. This time I have strayed from the path of good straight onto the path of evil. I am sorry to say that this problem is on a Soyo mobo (pos). At startup I get one long and 2 short beeps that would indicate a problem with the mem or the vid cad. They both work just fine in my MSI system but I get the nasty beeps on the Soyo(pos). I've reseated evrything several times, checked and rechecked the connections and nothing I do makes any difference. Now considering this is a problem on a Soyo (pos) I don't expect a reply on this forum but hope someone may be kind enough to reply by e-mail and give me a hand? There is a thread similar to this about an MSI 875 mobo and I have carefully followed the posts and have coonfirmed that I have done all the same steps as posted.
I have strayed from the path of enlightenment and been coerced by low prices and curiosity, forgive me for I have sinned.

Newbie needs help, advice and alternatives to imovie

Hey all,
I am running into problems using imovie 08. Here is the project: Importing large amounts of VHS footage using a canopus input device. I have no problem importing. the problem exists when I try to delete rejected footage. I know this has been posted before, but i really did not notice a solution. I hear things like, "be patient. it takes time" but I am getting spinning wheel that wont go away. I click on the imovie icon in the toolbar and it says, 'imovie not responding" in the greyed out area of the box. So i am forced to shut down or force quit.....losing not only the clip, but the entire import.
Is there any way to avoid this? it is a fairly new imac, so its not as if the cpu or memory cant handle the project.
Now part two.....I want to import all these ideally with imovie, then edit ideally with idvd. First, i want to import everything (i am borrowing a work imac for winter break) and later (summer?) i want to edit. but, i dont think i will be able to do this since i cannot get rid of the scenes...or do i just wait and do this in idvd? IS there an easier way? snap pro? final cut? i want to avoid the rendering times (takes imovie over an hour just to open!) and the freezing. my end product will be DVD's slideshows,
Could I easily, using these programs, simply make a copy of the DVD's on a LG dvd recorder (stand alone) and edit this video later? or do i have to then import that in DV format, and end up with the same problems? eventually, i want to do lots of editing so the stand alone is not a good permanant solution. I also dont get it: are these DV files or MOV files? the computer shows both. what else imports this format that may allow me to edit the video in an easier, non freezing way?
thanks for reading. meanwhile, i will continue to scan the forums.
Mike

But, let me see if i understand you correctly: import with imovie, but THEN use QT or Mpeg streamclip? or do i import with those programs.
Actually, I would probably use Vidi (free) to import the source files. It is an older utility and does just one thing -- it captures the raw DV footage and stores it wherever I want. This is handy if I have yet to determine which video editor I plan to use. Once the raw footage is stored on my hard drive, and can perform preliminary cuts of footage I definitely don't plan to use. This saves time importing/re-rendering the content I do actually keep and plan to use, as well as, the thumbnailing of content if it went directly to iMovie '08.
also, can you explain why this is what you call destructive editing?
Destructive editing is editing that actually modifies the source file. All versions of iMovie have the ability to "split" the source content into smaller segments and trash ones you don't want. By this I mean it actually divides a source clip into smaller segments, re-writes the segments you want to keep, and deletes those you don't. This is destructive. Once the segments are deleted and the project updated, they are gone for good. iMovie '08, FCE, and FCP, on the other hand, are intended to be used non-destructively. This means You can select a segments and add the segment to one or more projects one or more times without physically changing the source file. In other words, there is no real need to physically remove content you don't want since you can simply tell the project which frames to include in the project. Think of it as either copying the source frames you want to project. In actually, in iMovie '08 you are just copying frame references to the project and not the physical content itself -- which is why I call it "by-reference" editing. Since not actual footage is copied to the project in iMovie '08, the project files are much smaller. In addition, unlike iMovie HD, your edits do not have to be rendered to physicals which also ad to a projects size. Instead, in iMovie '08, the status of the project is simply rendered in real time for viewing which is why the CPU requirements are so high for this application.
do i loose quality on this?
Generally speaking, you lose quality every time you transcode your content. Since there is no physical intermediate file in iMovie '08, every frame in our output is transcoded at least once. In iMovie HD, only the titles, filters, transitions, special effects and such are re-rendered (re-compressed to the default project compression format) which means that all other content is exported as a "reference" file pointing to the original source content as it was imported into the project. This is why you will probably see a lot of talk about DVDs made with iMovie HD looking better than those made with iMovie '08.
a lot?
That really depends on what you are doing and how good the original content is in terms of quality. If you are importing content that is automatically transcoded or manually transcoded as part of the import and then re-render it part of a special effect and then convert it to a target compression for a particular use, then you could end up with the equivalent of a third generation copy of your original content. If the original content was of outstanding quality, then you may see little or no visual deterioration. If starting with something like QVGA digital camera content, then you may be tearing your hear out when you see the finished product.
do i really need to jump thru all these hoops just to primarily delete rejected clips? a process that imovie 08 should be able to handle quite easily, but does not.
The best approach you be for you to do your preliminary editing as you import. Since you will be importing manually, you can plan ahead and only import the content you actually plan to use by starting and stopping the import process manually. By blocking or importing individual segments manually and allowing them to thumbnail independently, you should not be constantly running into the problem where the computer locks up for hours because you are importing an hour plus of content all at once. I have never run any timing tests, but it often seems that the import time sometimes grows geometrically with the amount of content imported simultaneously and not linearly on my rather old G5. (It may just be my imagination, but I'm not sure.)
the second comment i get. So, i can really keep all the cruddy stuff in my import, and simply do not add it to the idvd project?
Normally, each project you create in iMovie will end up as a separate "title" on your DVD. You can crate a single long movie or several shorter projects than can be selected as independent playback selections in your DVD project. The basic function of iDVD is to take the files you send to it and convert them to MPEG2/PCM content to be burned to a DVD along with the interactive menus needed to play them back on a commercial DVD player which access content written to specific types of files. While an application like DVDSP will offer limited editing options, they are nowhere as good as what you can do in the video editor. Use iMovie to create the file as you wish to play it back and use iDVD to write those files to your DVD.
that might help me avoid the issue i am having, but will not help me save drive space.
As I have already said many times before, the best way to save drive space is not to import content you don't really want. The average DV25 file video content alone takes up an average of about 28.5 mbps for or about 12.825 GB of hard drive space for every hour of imported video plus whatever space is needed for your audio. (There are different "flavors of DV but most often it is imported as DV/DV for iMovie.)
that might help me avoid the issue i am having, but will not help me save drive space.
The best way to see what is going on is to simply open one of the files and look at the "Inspector" window. The "Format:" entry should tell you what compression formats were actually used to create the files. The DV file will be DV video with DV audio. The MOV files will likely depend on the actual source file and/or the default project type selected in the case of iMovie HD imports. Basically, if the import routine automatically transcoded the content, it will often end up in an MOV file container as explained previously.
i like the sound of vidi and will check it out now.....ok. did that. looks good! so, basically, i get one big file at no signal loss, that i can mess with first, then bring into imovie?
Exactly.
any reason i would NOT want to do that?
Probably not as long as you import and do your preliminary editing one tape at a time. In this way you can get rid of most of the dross immediately. If however, there is a long segment you know you'll never use, why import it at all.
I only have so much time off work here, and hope to do it all during my vacation. this issue was causing me a headache. hopefully this will now make things a little easier.
Best of luck. Consider it a "learning experience." (I.e., "no pain, no gain.")

HP C7280 all-in-one duplex printing problem - Long and short sided binding!

I use a HP 7280 all-in-one printer and have the duplexer attached. Up to installing snow leopard I have been able to print two sided documents from ipages no problems. But now every time I try to print a two sided document in flips the second side vertically (basically meaning it is binding is always long edge). When I change the setting from long edge binding to short side it makes no difference at all!!! I know this used to work, but it appears snow leopard changed that!! Any suggestion to fix the problem, thanks

One of the common issues with automatic duplexing, is the requirement of increased margins due to the way that the process works. It is not a defect, it is simply the way that the process needs to ensure print quality when auto duplexing. In contrast, manual duplexing does not have the same needs, as it draws directly from the tray. From testing of other brands, I can say that I have seen the margin issue occur with other manufacturers as well. Seems to be a necessary evil when auto duplexing.

Total newbie needs help installing and setting up Solaris 10 as a server

i'm attempting to set up one computer to act as a file and print server on my home network, so that i can store all of my music and video files on it instead and print to my parallel-only laser printer. 80% of the time i'm using my laptop, so i need the mass storage and printer to be handled by another device - the server!
i'm not sure if i'm even installing Solaris 10 correctly. how should it be installed to then act as a server? my two (incredibly long, like 3+ hours each) install attempts so far have resulted in an OS that looks like a nice fancy GUI-laden desktop which doesn't appear to show me my 750G SATA storage drive (the OS is on a 40G IDE drive).
in the end, i'd like to have the system working so that my only interaction with it is the power button - press it once to power it on and it'll boot up and long in automagically and make itself seen over the network (with printer and files stored on drives accessible to my laptop or any other PC that's on the same network), and then press the power button again to shut down the entire system gracefully (so far, when i press the power button, it's a quick kill like pulling the power cord - i'm pretty sure that's a bad way of having the system shut down, so how do i change it?)
i'm really hoping to use Solaris due to the promising ZFS scheme. my only exposure so far to unix / linux has been with ubuntu, which i usually like but sometimes loathe (primarily file permissions and network manager).

Let's try step by step rather than asking for setting up a server as a while and I'll try to help you as much as I can.
For setting up a printer, it's not that easy or quick setting up a printer on Solaris, I mean it's not like plug-n-play. Tell us about your printer and how it's connected to your system (usb, ethernet, parallel, serial).
As for shutting down the system, it's recommended to use the shutdown commnad like this:
# shutdown -y -i0 -g0
--gibb
