Computer Error Beep codes

Note:The contents below are not my discovery but taking out from different sources.


When your is computer making some funny sound via the system speaker, it's not doing it because it wants to be heard. The computer is trying to tell you what's wrong.

Beep Code:

Description of Problem:

No Beeps

Short, No power, Bad CPU/MB, Loose Peripherals

One Beep

Everything is normal and Computer POSTed fine

Two Beeps

POST/CMOS Error

One Long Beep, One Short Beep

Motherboard Problem

One Long Beep, Two Short Beeps

Video Problem

One Long Beep, Three Short Beeps

Video Problem

Three Long Beeps

Keyboard Error

Repeated Long Beeps

So as you can see, if your computer doesn't start up and starts beeping away like a mime you can start the process of figuring out what is wrong by stopping for a second and listening. From a single beep which tells you everything is okay, to three long beeps which indicate a keyboard error to the sirCen like Hi-Lo beeps that tell you the PU is overheating - listening to your computer is good!
