betamax Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) This is kind of a weird question but, when you restart your computer, does it take a few seconds before you hear the beep? I'm just curious. Everything seems fine, it's just that when I restart, the system shuts down as usual (the pc itself remains on). It waits long enough for my old CRT monitor to automatically turn off (no signal mode). About a second after the monitor shuts off, the computer beeps, and starts back up again normally. I'd say it's about a 5 second delay after shutdown before it starts up. I think I remember this happening on my old A7V266.Also, another weird one:Normally I boot up with quickboot enabled (skips memory test). There's one POST beep, and then it boots up. However, I decided to disable quickboot just one time to have it fully test the memory. There was one POST beep, and then the memory test began. After the memory test finished w/o error, it began to boot up. Just after it shows that table of all your motherboard settings, and just before you get the winxp loading screen, I heard another beep. Sounds just like the normal POST beep. The memory seems fine. I had been running two identical 1G sticks of kingston valueram in slots A1 and A2. After I realized they were both in the same channel and not utilizing the dual channel feature, I removed the stick from A2 and put it in B1. That's about it.This this normal? Is my baby okay?!

RJARRRPCGP Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Newer Asus motherboards have long POST sequences. Everything's fine.I agree. My Asus A7N8X-X has a long POST sequence. It may seem that it's gonna fail to boot, but it always booted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 My Asus P5B-E does the same thing. On a reboot it completely turns off for a second or two and then starts back up. I was worried the first time it did it but now it's just a minor annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
