Post Bleeps

[Maleko]

Ok, ASUS A8N-SLI Premium

Randomly, when i reboot, i get no posting, but one long bleep, then 2 short bleeps.

I cant find what they mean, and speach posts dont say anything, if hit reset, or turn it off, then back on, it posts fine.

Any ideas?

I believe that that board has AWARD BIOS, there beep codes are:

AWARD BIOS BEEP CODES

Below are Award BIOS Beep codes that can occur. However, because of the wide variety of different computer manufacturers with this BIOS, the beep codes may vary.

Beep Code Description

1 long, 2 short Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. Video (Mono/CGA Display Circuitry) issue.

Any other beep(s) RAM problem.

Try reseating your video card. Hope this helps!

luckily, the 76GT's dont need a power connection, as theres not one

Then mount one on it, they forgot it I think . (HAD to do it )

are u serious! why would they do that? lol

the power cord is for extra stability

oh well...

[Maleko]

lol, dunno, runs totally fine In windows

[Maleko]

What about plugging power into the EZ-Plug? I know thats for SLI, but have heard it improves stability?

[ripken204]

u can give it a try, it cant hurt

[Maleko]

didnt make any difference....although i went into my bios, and the "init display adapter" was set to PCi, so i changed it to PCI-E...see hwo that goes

[Maleko]

Hhmmmm, still does it, but again, not all the times...this is weird.
