Hi everybody!

I'm having a huge problem with the computer of my sister: when I boot it i
got multiple beeps (tutut tututututututututut tutut tut) and nothing appears
on the screen.
I tried to boot with a bootdisk, but it stays the same thing. Is there
something wrong with the video-card? Or somebody else have an idea?

Thansk in advance!!

Do a google search of motherboard beep codes, they are different depending
on your bios.
 
Hi

Reseat the memory, also if try cleaning the contact pins with a pen eraser,
not pencil but pen the blue colour type.. (Be sure you are at the same
ground potential as the memory first electrostatic wrist straps etc...)

If poss try the video card in another PC, and see if an older (if available)
PCI type GFX card works or if the MB supports it an ISA type gfx card, thgey
always work, helps with the process of eleimination....

Pieter, check for the obvious first, a sticking key on your keyboard, though
normally you would have a display and your BIOS would say keyboard failure
or similar. Then try reseating video card and ram modules as already
mentioned.
 
it was indeed the video-card that was little bit out of the slot :) just
putted it in again and everything worked :)
