New System - No POST, No Beep Codes

Hey guys,
So I built a new system last night, powered everything on and everything seemed to come on as expected but there was absolutely nothing on the screen.  The system MIGHT be posting properly because I see the keyboard lights flash when I first turn it on, then the Numlock light stays on as normal.  Also, when I press the numlock key it toggles the light as it should, and a ctrl-alt-del on the keyboard seems to reset the system as well (fan speeds change and lights blink just as they do when pressing the actual reset button on the case).  Additionally, when I had the drives connected it sounded like it was checking them looking for something to boot (even though the hard drive is blank right now).  However, I'm not sure that they're just making noise simply because they have power and are doing things like spinning down after not being used for a minute or two.
There are no beeps or alerts coming from the motherboard that I can see/hear.  I also disconnected all the drives to see if that helped, but it was still the same thing.  I have not yet tried to take the mainboard out of the case and running it with only CPU/RAM/video; I plan to try that tonight as a next step.
I'm guessing that this means there is something wrong with the video card, but I'm not 100% sure, and wanted to see if others had ideas before I try exchanging the video card.  Unfortunately I don't have another PCI-E system that I can simply test the video card in.
This motherboard should beep if it detects a problem, correct?
Are there any LEDs on the board that could help me diagnose something?  I don't think it came with a D-bracket.  There are the 4 CPU_Phase LEDs on the board, and I believe two of them are lit up while it's running, but I'm not sure how to interpret those LEDS.  Anyone know what exactly they indicate (more than what the manual says, which is just that 2, 3, or 4 lights indicates that the CPU is in 2-phase 3-phase, or 4-phase power modes).
Am I correct in assuming that since the lights on the keyboard seem to behave as normal and that ctrl-alt-del works as normal that the motherboard is probably okay?
Any other ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!

You can try to clear CMOS and try out with another video card.

  • K9A2 Beep Codes ON POST

    I just purchased and installed the K9A2 MB with an
    AMD AthlonXP 4200+ Duo Core
    2 gig matched set of Corsair Ram.
    Nvidia GEForce 8500 GT 512MB Video Card
    500Gig IDE WD Hard drive.
    When the computer POSTS, I get a beep code 1short 1long 2short. Everything seems to be running okay and the system boots without any issues.....
    My question...? Why is it throwing up the beep code errors and what do they mean..?
    James

    The first short beep probably means your boot block and system block are ok. The second series of beeps could be indicating an issue with your video card...

    No display and now 4 short beeps....pause....2 long
    Parts are all brand new.  Fairly new MSI 760GM-E51 FX board that booted fine.  Installed ESXi 5.0 on it.  It complained about the processor (AMD FX 8120 3.1Ghz AM3+).   Seeing that the box states "Supports AM3+ CPU with new BIOS" I downloaded the 3.3 version of the BIOS from the website onto a USB drive.  In BIOS loaded the new BIOS and rebooted when it was done.  It gave a check sum error.  Back to BIOS, altered some settings that seemed benign, rebooted.  Now there are beep codes "4 short beeps....pause....2 long".  They cycle.  No display.
    Read some page about reset to factory default through a jumper.  No good.
    Tried to load BIOS from flash by booting while pressing CTRL-HOME.  Nothing seems to happen other than the same beeps.

    I was the one that built the system for redboy. I've got years of experience building systems for myself and as a living.
    Here's some background on the system. All parts, except the CD Drive were ordered from Newegg. The machine was working fine under bios version 3.1, it booted into ESXi without a problem, except for an uninformative CPU Alert in the vSphere client under the Health Status section in the Configuration tab. I remembered that the CPU had a warning that the motherboards bios might require an update to work properly with the CPU. We ran the update and when it rebooted it threw up a checksum error. We went in to the bios and didn't change anything just saved the configuration as it was and then hit save. Rebooted and the machine booted up fine into ESXi. The CPU Alert was still there. We rebooted and went back into bios. I looked over the settings to see if there was any new settings that might need to be changed. I didn't find anything but I did make some changes. Nothing major, just disabled all the devices that ESXi couldn't see, or we wouldn't end up using, like the audio card, Serial, and Parallel ports. Saved the settings and rebooted, and that's when it refused to come back up. Not sure if that helps any, but I'd rather give more information than you need than too little.
    Thanks for any help.

  • P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 w/ 1-long+2short beep code.

    Well subject line tells most of the story:
    P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 in lower right of display and with 1-long+2short beep code.
    I've found a note somewhere on these forums that 99 code means Super IO initialization,   though I'm not sure if this is the checkpoint before or after that process.
    I've found generic information that suggests 1long+2short beep code indicates a video card failure.   
    I'm surprised that the manual for the MB doesn't list these codes, and that they weren't listed in the troubleshooting FAQ on the MSI site.   So I still wonder if it may mean something else.
    I've disconnected all the SATA connections,  and removed all pci cards except for the video card.   Guess I'll try disconnecting the front-panel usb connectors too in a moment, but I'm running out of ideas.
    With a EVGA GT520 video card,   I get these symptoms regardless of which pcie slot I put the card in.
    With a Galaxy 8400GS  the beep code is the same but no output is ever visible on the display.  It seems possible that I just need an adapter to use the other connector on this card to see the output though.
    With a EVGA 7800GT   the symptoms are the same as with the EVGA GT520
    If I try removing the memory sticks I get 3-long beeps followed by system shutting itself down.

    Run of the mil keyboard.    (has a logo with a circle containing a crescent containing a D).   Suppose I could switch to a usb keyboard around here somewhere.  
    Disconnected the logitec usb mouse that I had connected to the back panel with no change in symptoms.
    Toughpower-650 power supply (had been in use on a system that was running an athlon x64 and the GT7800GT graphics card.  
    2 sticks PNY DDR3 PC3-10666 4G  ("compatible with 1333MHz")   1 stick in each blue slot.
    No idea how to tell you the UFEI/BIOS version.    The manual says its "CLiCK BiOS"   but since I've never seen anything but 98,99 and _  displayed by the BIOS  I really don't know.
    Removing the case front panel USB connectors didn't change symptoms.
    Resetting the bios by the button at the back panel connectors (near keyboard connector)  didn't change anything. (although it did not cause  "system will boot automatically"  as a line in the manual might suggest.  
    Tried using the JBAT connector to clear the bios as well and likewise no change in symptoms.
    There are no peripherals connected other than case power switch, power LED and HDD LED at this point.    Somehow I don't expect much change from disconnecting LED's.    Case switch seems to be behaving normally in that it causes the boot cycle to start, and if pressed while the "99" is sitting there in corner of screen it causes machine to shut down.
    No SATA devices are connected to it since they won't really be useful untill can at least get to the BIOS.   The sata cables that would go to those devices are still connected to the MB.

  • MSI P67A-GD65 Not Posting, unsure of beep code meaning

    Just swapped out my old K9A platinum for a P67A-GD65 and I can't seem to get it to post. I'm getting a beep code of five beeps (long ones maybe? google indicates "process error") but I'm not sure what that means. Pulled the video card, tried my two sticks of ram in slot 1 one at a time, disconnected every device but still getting the same code. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
    Edit: Tried clearing the CMOS as well but no luck
    Sound @ post:

    MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 graphics card

    It seems I'm not the only one having weird issues with this board. I have the exact same board, v1.8 BIOS and Gskill F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD memory.
    If I enable the XMP profile for this memory, this system will not post. It does not matter if I raise the DRAM voltage and I/O (memory controller) voltage to their acceptable limits, it does not matter if I manually enter in the timings of the memory specified on the box. XMP = no post.
    So after disabling XMP I kept the memory at 1600mhz, which worked fine. I decided to try 1866mhz and a little more voltage. This seemed to work fine...for awhile. This morning my system would not post. I had to clear the CMOS (not use the jumper but literally remove the battery). Ever since then my system will BSOD after a few minutes on startup unless I manually enter in my memory timings (I tried two sticks from different vendors).
    I know I don't have bad memory, and the fact is that this board will not post with vendor specified settings.
    All I can suggest is to pull the CMOS battery and try one stick of memory.

  • Why can't I post a question from my new system?

    Hello All:
    I was just trying to post a question from my new mbp but it wouldn't allow me to do anything.  It continually gave me a message highlighted in 'red' that i was;t allowed to modify or post anything.  I've been asking questions for quite a while and have never seen this.  I also happen to have my older bmp, also logged onto the 'Apple Discussions' site, open beside me.  Can anyone explain this to me please?  BTW, my new system obviously has Yosemite on it while my older bmp has Lion.  Thanks in advance, to all those who respond.

    ChitlinsCC, I'm adding your reloaders to my article on how to make using ASC easier.
    Here is my ASC work flow...
    1) I login.
    2) Block the automatic 30 minute logout.
         Unless you do something every thirty minutes you get logged out.  The forum software waits to tell you this as long as it can to keep you in suspense  ;-) . Filling out a reply is the exception to the thirty minute window.
            Start an auto reloader.
    Safari = SafariTabReloader
    Firefox = ReloadEvery: "Reload web pages automatically"
    Others = Reloaders | Cerberus - Support Center
      You need to pick a page that will reload over time without stalling out. It's ASC.  I've found my profile display the best to use. I get my Profile page after some  logins.  It's ASC.  Change rccharles to your apple id.

    Reply technique
    Open a new browser window.  Pick some discussion.  Open a reply window.  As long as this reply window is open, you will stay logged in.  The 30 minute times is reset as needed by the ASC software.
    3) I open another window to do my normal ASC browsing.
    4) I have a FireFox bookmark to goto the discussions that I have participated in. I've modified it to add on the content stuff.
             turingtest2 recommends. Change rccharles to your apple id:

  • K8T Master Beep codes?

    Anyone know where I can find beep codes for the K8t Master2?  I'm building a new system, and I have the same problems as metioned in a previous thread (beep, beep, beep - black screen, no POST).  I've tried 3 different brands of RAM.
    My PSU is an Antec 380.  Came with the Sonata case.  Just out of curiosity, I tried powering up with no CPU, RAM, or video.  It's the same beep.

    Thanks for the code list.  Couldn't really find the applicable one, but I strongly suspect I'm using the wrong RAM.  I don't think I'm using registered.  I disconnected all drives during the troubleshooting process.  There's no display yet, so I'm not worried about not being able to load my OS.   I'm just hoping for a glimmer from the monitor now.  I've tried 2 different vid cards, neither one is a powerhouse model.  Both are low end dual head units.  The one I plan on using is an ATI radeon that's a couple of years old, 128 Meg DDR.  I have indeed connected all the proper power connectors from the 380 watt supply.   Trying to run 2 Opteron 242s.  They are matched.  I've also tried running just one CPU.  Reset the video card, tried all the ram in every slot, cleared CMOS.  The usual.  Only thing I can think of is RAM.  If you have other ideas, I'm all ears.
    I got an Antec sonata, and it is really, really quiet.  Unless that MSI board with the stock fans are in it.  Those are the loudest CPU fans ever.  I'm amazed.

  • K9N Platinum SLI beep codes?

    Upgraded my machine with:
    K9N Platinum SLI
    AMD X2 4600+
    2 Gigs of Corsair DDR2 4-4-4-12
    MSI 7900GT
    BFG 650 watt psu
    My computer was running fine at first, but now I'm getting some weird stuff.
    The machine will run like a champ for like 10min and then it will just turn off, as if the power went out.  But I just bought the power supply so I don't think that is the problem.
    When I try to turn the computer back on it makes 2 fast beeps and then 8 slower beeps and wont post any video.
    I tried removing all my other components, reseting the bios, reseating all my cards/cables/memory, replaced the memory and I couldn't get it to boot so I left it alone.  Came back in an hour and it booted right up.  But after 10 min again... same problem.
    Any idea what those 8 beeps mean?  And yes I tried using search T_T

    Ok, my start up beeps have changed. At first, it was two high pitched beeps and then one low, now, for some reason, and I've made no changes, it's a high-low-high-low. What do these different beeps mean? Everything seems to running ok, but I'd like to know what my computer is doing.
    Hi Folks, my first post here so excuse any stupid questions 
    Anyway, I have just built a new system almost the same as the last posters. It runs perfectly and was the most trouble free system I have ever built. But one thing bothers the heck out of me. As with the last posters system everytime it starts it gives 2 fast high beeps then one low. All fast. This seems a departure from the normal one beep most systems give at start to indicate all is well. So is this normal for this board? Anyone else have this? I have tested absolutely everything and everything is fine. The system is super stable and never does anything silly. Just these different beeps have me confused.  Inclined to leave well enough alone anyway. Thanks

  • MSI Big Bang Xpower II did not post - Debug LED Code #67

        
    I need HELP...!
    I have a problem my board did not post , did not start and i have the DEBUG LED CODE # 67 displayed.
    There is my build
    MSI Big Bang Xpower II X79 LGA2011
    Intel Core i7 3820 LGA2011 Processor
    Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 CPU Cooler System LGA2011
    G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series memory (F3-12800CL-32GBZL) DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 - CL10-10-10-30 (8192MB X 4) - 32GIG located in DIMM 1-3-5-7
    Gigabyte GTX570 OC Edition video card in slot PCI-E2
    Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s 10,000 RPM
    LG BH12LS35 Blu-Ray Writer 12X BD-R 16X
    Ultra LSP-750 Power Supply
    Cooler Master HAF X EATX Tower Case
    When I put the power on, the power supply activated fans and drives spin, all the LEDs on the motherboard light up but nothing appears on the screen.
    No video signal at all and the computer stop and restrart every 15 seconds. When these reset occurs there is no beep on the speaker , nothing at all, no flashing screen either, nothing.
    The DEBUG LED display a sequence of flashing numbers 19 - 60 - 19- 60 - 67 and stop showing still the number # 67 for about ten seconds and then he reset again.
    I carefully followed the instruction manual for the installation, I installed the memory modules in slots 1 3 5 7, i put my video card in slot PCI-E2. all the power wire are connected correctly 1 x 24 pins ATX, 2 x 8 pins ATX, 1 X 6 pins , all the wire from the front panel are correctly connected to the m-connector in JFP1 & 2.
    Did i forget something, I don’t know what the debug led code # 67 exactly mean and what i have to do to fix-it
    Someone has an idea what is wrong or have any suggestion to solve this issue.
     Thank's all for your help.

     
    I followed some advice to remove the memory modules and this is actually caused by the use of memory but you will see I still have a curious bug.
    I referred to the instructions manual to the letter for the choice of DIMM SLOT to put the memory module in single, double, triple and quad channels.
    If I install 1 memory module in the DIMM SLOT  1 to operate in single channel, everything is normal and the motherboard  POST normally and show  the SETUP SCREEN.
    If I install 2 memory modules in  DIMM SLOT  1 & 3 to run in dual channel, everything is normal and the motherboard  POST normally and show  the SETUP SCREEN.
    If I install three memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 to run in triple channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show  the SETUP SCREEN.
    As soon as I install four DIMMs modules mémoiredans SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 to run in quad channel, the motherboard  freezes and does NOT POST and show  code 67 on the debug led and has reset itself every 20 seconds.
    I tried all my RAM modules alternately in both single channel and everything works normally.
    I did the same thing in rotation for both dual and triple channel and everything is still normal with all fourth memory modules individually.
     As soon as I put a fourth memory module it freezes and displays the code 67 or L9 dependent side as you look. 
    So my bug is my motherboard MSI Big Bang Xpower II do  not want  to work in quad channel.
    Do you have any idea where I should look for, is a setting in the BIOS  , I have flashed the bios to the latest version V1.5
    I included the screenshot of the BIOS to see if you can  notice something wrong. 
    Thank you

  • 790FX-GD70 won't POST - 3 beeps & diagnostic LED "2e"

    Hi,
    After a second or two of rapidly displaying various hex values, the POST_LED stops at "2e" (not documented in manual; can't find on MSI support site) and the system issues 3 beeps  (1 long and 2 short, also not documented in manual or online for AMI BIOS, which I assume from pictures in manual is what this mobo has on it).
    My configuration is as follows:
    Motherboard: 790FX-GD70 (model MS-7577)

    Obviously the CPU is good since I'm getting *some* POST activity and beeps, but I'm afraid I don't have any other video cards, memory, or PSU I can swap out to compare against. The previous poster (linked below) said he had swapped out many components and still had the same problem, though.
    Any ideas, anyone? I'd be happy to further diagnose the problem myself if someone could point me towards a complete list of diagnostic LED values and meanings, and BIOS beep codes and meanings.

    In order to find out the real cause, it is generally a good method to make comparisons with partially different configurations, as yannifb did. Therefore, I see his post as a useful contribution rather than hijacking, and I hope I am allowed to say so in this forum, even to a Global Administrator. Bootup failure with the 790FX-GD70 with various graphic cards and PSUs (which might very well have a COMMON cause) is now being discussed in different threads, which makes it more difficult to follow the discussion and to compare and analyse the phenomena.
    My own PSU is a Corsair HX1000W, which is undoubtedly strong enough and even recommended expressly by AMD for the Radeon 4890. Nevertheless, bootup fails with the configuration given in my signature. (I hope I'm not guilty of another "hijacking" attempt. I believe we need some consolidation on this whole subject.)

  • How to reassign new chart of accounts to company code

    I created company code, assigned fiscal year K4 to 4040 co. code. Later on I created Open/Close Posting period/Assign Company code to Fiscal Year. I prepared new chart of accounts 4040 for Canadian company.
    When I tried to assign 4040 chart of accounts to my company code in Fin Actg Global Settings, I notcied that automaticlly CACA (Chart of accounts Canada was already assigned. I tried to replac CACA by 4040 But error message "Reset company code data before changing the chart of accounts"
    I tried to delete G/L accounts Tnasaction code OBR1 & OBR2 But nothing changed.
    I wish to assignment of chart of accounts in company code in Global settings & wish to re-assign different chart of accounts. I have not created any assignment of company code to controlling area, plant, sales organization, etcu2026 While removing this it says Reset company code data before changing the chart of accounts. Screenshot is attached.
    1)       When I am trying to remove assignment of K4 fiscal year to company code it does not allow me. SO how to solve this problem.
    Should I delete company code & then retry the same?
    Please suggest how to reassign chart of accounts to company code as no data like customer, vendor or sales transaction is made.
    Pl advise solution THANKS

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for the answer. I have not copy any company code to my co. code 4040. Just as new entry I created 4040 company code. In Org object Check everything about table found OK. No seprate G/L A/C is created by me for co. code 4040
    To see if company code is productive means Active? In "Enter Global Parameter? Tab-->Cost of Sales Accounting ACTV is 2. When I tried to make it Inactive (Blank), it is not allowing me and showing error msg as below.
    You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.
    I checked this but asking for Application Area to put & I do not know hwat area I should put.
    Am I going right as suggested by you?
    I had deleted G/L accounts earlier but Sales Actg is active so sould not go ahead.
    As per Venkat I had decided to delete company code, But I want to solve without deletion.
    I am SD guy so asking many Qs of FICO as I am learning now.
    Thanks
    Reason why you are not able to delete the assignment is that, you have already created GL accounts for the COA. I hope you have not done any posting using those GL accounts.
    First of all please make that you company code is not set as productive. if set prodictive you will not be able to delete any master data. So please remove the productive check(if any).
    Then you try to delete the GL account that you have created for the COA. once you delete the GL account the system might ask for the deletion of the account group. After that you should be able to change the assignment.

  • Migrating SU24 to new system properly (ecc 5.0 to ecc 6.0)

    Hello,
    We are currently upgrading from ECC 5.0 to 6.0. As part of this cutover to the new system, I need to download SU24 properly from the 5.0 system and upload it to the new 6.0 environment because we heavily use SU24 for custom tcodes and to add additional auth objects to SAP delivered transactions.
    The good thing is that SU24 has a download capability in the transaction, but the problem is that it gives you three option of downloads, in which all three can be selected.
    1) SAP Data
    2) Original Data
    3) Customer Data
    I know that we will obviously want to use the "Customer Data" due to our Ztcodes, but what is the difference between SAP Data and Original Data?
    Our goal would be to download and upload only our custom changes (to both custom transactions and SAP transactions), but we do not want to overwrite any newly delivered SU24 updates that SAP may have implemented in ECC 6.0.
    Has anyone ever done this or does anyone have an idea what these mean? Of course, the SAP help is useless on this issue.
    I looked for such messages and read them here, I guess I still have some anxiety about ensuring that I download only what my company has maintained since our older 5.0 system went live. If I download all of the "Customer Data" option, I think that covers all of our custom transaction codes, but will that cover the auth objects associations to SAP delived tcodes we have made as well?
    Also, It  seems that I will have to use SU25 to activate.  Any information of the best way to to do this our situation would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Thanks for responding.
    The thing is that the person asking the questions does not give a hoot about points until they have an answer, and then only maybe... so forget about points.
    Answering questions with random links or wild guesses in the hope that one of them scores a few points makes a big mess of the forums and renders the search almost useless when all these link-farms turn up.
    Take a look at this thread for an extreme example => work flow
    It is okay to post a link when there is a good reason for it, embedded within a discussion or to support an answer as a reference.
    Please take a look at this thread for a more detailed discussion => How Far it is Good???
    Now, back to the discussion...
    I am not logged on, but if I remember correctly there is a function module which uses combinations of these three flags to read the SAP data (current SU22 data), the original data (SU22 data without the "update" flag - because in the past SAP rolled out some support pack notes to change SU22 and some customers maintained SU22 anyway instead of SU24...) and the customer data (which is what you are looking for). Additionally the function module parameter has a 4th flag for when nothing is checked, and then it downloads everything (?). The name of the function was something like SU22LISTVALUES but you should be able to find it via the Object Navigator from the download screen - Menu => System => Status => double-click the GUI Screen program. I remember there being lots of comments in the coding as well to help understand it.
    But this was some time ago and on a 4.7 system when I had looked into it, so please also check how many entries are downloaded and compare these to your USOBT_C and USOBX_C tables before you do anything like an upload... - as the download might not deliver information you are expecting (assuming that you ran SU25 after making changes or made some changes to SU22 without importing them via support packages, etc).
    Let us know what you find. I will take a look in the next days as well when I find a system with some data in it...
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • HP Pavilion Elite e9240f won't boot -- beep codes

    When I try to boot my hp desktop I am getting beep codes.  As best I can tell it's one long then 8 short.
    I have not replaced or changed any hardware or software.
    I have used compressed air to blow out all the fans I saw.
    It's been an intermittent error that I thought was related to heat.  I'd turn it off, let it sit for the night, and it would work in the morning.
    The last time it worked, I was wondering about a virus so I ran an avast full system scan.  It found one file in the 1 tb drive (sorry, don't remember name, just that it was a .tmp file) and it said to move it to chest I believe so I did that.  It then suggested doing a boot scan so it restarted and has since given the same beep code errors.
    I have unattached the cables for the cd and dvd drives, as well as the hard drive, and I still get the error.  I've removed the video card and still get the error.  I've held the power button down so that the led light inside the computer shuts down.  I seem to get fans to run but nothing else.
    I made a system repair disk from another Windows 7 Professional (which I think this one is) and that won't work (I can't seem to boot into that) because it doesn't seem to get to an HP screen to boot into the cd.
    Thoughts?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    This is the HP troubleshooting link for POST error codes.
    You could try reseating memory modules or removing one at a time and testing for a successful POST.

  • 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.
