A hardware failure with an expansion card or the motherboard itself could be the cause of this beep code.<br \/>\n<strong>5 Beeps<\/strong><br \/>\nFive beeps means there has been a processor error. A damaged expansion card, the CPU, or the motherboard could be prompting this AMI beep code.<br \/>\n<strong>6 Beeps<\/strong><br \/>\nSix beeps means that there has been an 8042 Gate A20 test error.

Many popular motherboard manufacturers use Award\u2019s AwardBIOS in their systems.<br \/>\nOther motherboard manufacturers have created custom BIOS software based on the AwardBIOS system. The beep codes from an AwardBIOS-based BIOS may be the same as the original AwardBIOS beep codes (below) or they may vary a little. You can always reference your motherboard\u2019s manual if you to be sure.<br \/>\nNote: AwardBIOS beep codes sound in quick succession and usually immediately after powering on the PC.<br \/>\n<strong>1 Short Beep<\/strong><br \/>\nA single, short beep from an Award based BIOS is actually an \u201call systems clear\u201d notification. In other words, this is a beep code you want to hear and that you\u2019ve probably been hearing each time your computer comes on since the day you purchased it. No troubleshooting necessary!<br \/>\n<strong>1 Long Beep, 2 Short Beeps<\/strong><br \/>\nOne long beep followed by two short beeps indicates that there has been some kind of error with the video card. Replacing the video card is usually the most you\u2019ll have to do to fix this one.<br \/>\n<strong>1 Long Beep, 3 Short Beeps<\/strong><br \/>\nOne long beep followed by three short beeps means that either the video card isn\u2019t installed or the memory on the video card is bad. Reseating or replacing the video card will typically fix the cause of this Award beep code.<br \/>\n<strong>1 High Pitched Beep, 1 Low Pitched Beep (Repeating)<\/strong><br \/>\nA repeating high pitched \/ low pitched beep pattern is an indication of some kind of CPU problem. The CPU could be overheating or malfunctioning in some other way.<br \/>\n<strong>1 High Pitched Beep (Repeating)<\/strong><br \/>\nA single, repeating, high pitched beeping sound means that the CPU is overheating. You\u2019ll need to figure out why the CPU is getting too hot before this Award beep code will go away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Turn your computer off immediately if you hear this beep code. The longer your CPU is running hot, the higher the chance that you\u2019ll permanently damage this expensive part of your system.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>From Gigabyte<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>1.AWARD BIOS <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1short beep \uff1aSystem normal<br \/>\n2 short beep \uff1aCMOS Error<br \/>\n1 long beep and 1 short beep\uff1aMemory error<br \/>\n1 long beep and 2 short beep\uff1aGraphic card error<br \/>\n1 long beep and 3 short beep \uff1aAGP error<br \/>\n1 long beep and 9 short beep \uff1aMemory Error<br \/>\nContinuous long beep \uff1aMemory not correctly installed<br \/>\nContinuous short beep \uff1aPower supply unit failed<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.AMI BIOS <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 short beep \uff1aMemory Error<br \/>\n2 short beep\uff1aMemory parity check error.<br \/>\n3 short beep \uff1abasic memory 64K address check error<br \/>\n4 short beep \uff1aReal Time Clock malfunction .<br \/>\n5 short beep \uff1aCPU error<br \/>\n6 short beep\uff1aKeyboard error<br \/>\n7 short beep \uff1aCPU interruption error<br \/>\n8 short beep\uff1aGraphic card error<br \/>\n9 short beep \uff1aMemory error<br \/>\n10 short beep \uff1aCMOS error<br \/>\n11 short beep \uff1aCPU cache memory malfunction<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMIBIOS is a kind of BIOS manufactured by American Megatrends (AMI).
