be6 no boot..pin 2 connectors correct?

Cuchulan · Jul 11, 2003

HI i am putting my old be6 mobo into another case and When i go to start it I get no boot no video and fter a few seconds a lound continuous bepp like a police siren or ambulance..be doo...be doo.be doo.ect.

I remember the original manual had the pin 2 connectors wrong for the power led and powersw etc. I downloaded the manual from abit's website and I am assuming it is correct. As far as I know everything is connected correctly I have an intel celeron 700 on a slot 1 with fan attached to fan 2 fan2..I have a sis6326agp pci card (i moved to differnt slots and same problem occurs) it is in tight ..also have 392mb of memory 168 pin dimms ..rechecked all those and they are in tight...could my cpu be bad? the cpu fan comes on at power up so i dont think it is overheating be6 Intel celeron700 370 pin in slot 1 pga slotket 392mb ram 13 gig wd sis 6326agp/pci card with 8mb memory TIA Cuchulan

If I remember correctly the siren signifies CPU overtemp. Just because the fan comes on doesn't mean that it's not overheating. Check your heat sink for proper mounting. Did you apply some sort of medium between the CPU and the HS (i.e. arctic silver or equivalent)?

I have to get some artic silver and check capacitators on this be6 board in the mean time i am using abit vl-6 with an intel p3 1.0ghz and it booted up fine...Thanks for all your help Cuchulan

Phil Weldon · Jul 12, 2003

Forget the Arctic Silver. The beep you hear is a POST beep code that indicates the problem when the boot cannot progress far enough to display on the video monitor and has NOTHING AT ALL to do with heat. How could it? Your CPU is not even warm. If you look in your manual or search the web for the beep codes used by the BIOS manufacturer you will discover the problem - most likely an improperly inserted display adapter or memory module.

uh, Phil? a two-tone siren has been long known to be an alarm indicating a problem with cpu temperature or a voltage on the board.

TomG · Jul 12, 2003

POST codes are one tone beeps of various number and length. the POST codes do not change pitch. based on the original description, it sounded to me like the sound he was getting was a two tone alarm which *would* indicate a temperature or voltage problem on the board.

a cool to the touch cpu heat sink can mean that the cpu does not have thermal contact with the cpu and is not transferring heat. meanwhile, the cpu is going thermal.

Jerry Polyak · Jul 12, 2003

Is that so? Was there a mention of beep codes? The original poster clearly stated a continuos siren like noise. According to you the man needs to sit there and count how many times the "SIREN" goes on and off? Maybe you can educate me and let me know when one would need to stop counting: upon CPU burn out, acrid smell of smoke, or once one reaches a count of 1000?

Utterly wrong indeed.

Now, as far as I remember a video problem would be signified by eight beeps (I could be wrong on the beep count), but one thing I am sure off that the beeps would eventually stop.

Before you lecture someone in absolutes, perhaps first you SHOULD check your facts and do some research.

Read http://bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm . Also I'd suggest it would be less embarrasing if you hold off on the personal attacks until making sure of your ground. Refraining from comments that contribute nothing to a thread might be an even better idea. Also try reading the original post again.

no personal attacks here, Phil but I am confused as the original post does say that it is a two tone "police siren" type of sound and I gotta say, I have never heard a bios beep tone error code make that kind of sound. cpu temp alarm and such, plenty of times... can't reconcile what you are saying on this one...

Jerry Polyak · Jul 12, 2003

According to the web site you quoted:

High frequency beeps - Overheated CPU - Check the CPU fan for proper operation. Check the case for proper air flow.

Hmm, you right, that is very embarrassing to me. NOT!!!

I would suggest to you, my information challenged friend, is that you heed you own advice. I rarely post on topics I am not familiar with, and when I do decide to post I at the very least try to be helpful. Reading over several of your incoherent ramblings makes me wonder about your intentions. Are you trying to help people, or is your sole purpose to make yourself sound "very smart".

Having nothing to contribute on the other hand, beats feeding people wrong or irrelevant information, which you seem to excel at.

And as far as reading the original post, once again, heed your own advice, son.

Good luck, keep using paper to assemble your part on.

Try the web cite I included
http://bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm

Continuous high/low
Either the CPU is not seated properly or the CPU is damaged. May also be due to excess heat. Check the CPU fan or BIOS settings for proper fan speed.

I see
"Continuous high/low

The original poster stated "When I go to start up I get no boot, no video... clearly an indication that heat is not the source of the beep code.

You have misread the discription of the beeps in the original post and thus found the answer you wanted rather than the relevant answer.

Right. "May also be due to excess heat". That sounds familiar.

BE6 BIOS does not have a setting for fan speed. But I could be wrong. I've only owned one for the past 5 years.

And any competent technician will listen to the complaint first. Let me guess, if the poster said that he gets no boot, no video and therefore can not use his word processor then your advice would be to reinstall the word-processing application?

392mb of memory 168 pin dimms

392MB???
Might you mean 384MB?

I once had the exact same continuous endless looping sound from my BE6 & no- bootup. It turned out to be bad RAM. I was mixing RAM to see what surplus I had that might work in my BE6 & that's the cause of that sound on your BE6.

Try one stick at a time to find the culprit, and clean the RAM sticks contacts with a clean eraser before inserting them.

JimL · Jul 13, 2003

Phil,

or memory module.

From my experience with my BE6, THAT's my bet.

Phil Weldon · Jul 13, 2003

I don't believe so. From the original post description the beep code occurs during the post (that is, before the video display become active) and before heat becomes a factor. If a solution is desired, then the interpretation should be as the cited page states. After all, thinking should be used in making a diagnosis:

1. the beep code occurs during post before successful invocation of the display adapter; the beep code indicates an immediate problem that prevents the post from getting past the initial check.

2. the poster had just swapped cases.
