New Bios Beep ???

[Tamste]

Had problem recently where PC evry now and again stops with a 3 long bleep bios beep code. This happens before anything appears on screen. Problem is I cannot seem to find what this code means. There are lots of bleep code lists for amibos, but this isn't on the list

Bios is AMIbios and is the latest version for my board according to MSI

Take a look at this thread HERE If that doesn`t help, then you need to do some troubleshooting.

Turn off your computer, and unplug the mains cable.

Open your case, and disonnect anything not required to boot your computer.

Check all connections and cables etc.

Start with just the mobo, cpu, ram, and videocard.

If your computer still wont attempt to boot, then maybe swapping the ram may help.

If your computer does attempt to boot, then next add the hard drive, and retest.

Keep adding one component at a time untill your system doesnt boot, and that will be your culprit.
