    Beep test help.
    « on: August 01, 2010, 03:13:28 AM »
    I recently ordered a new computer from pcspecialist and it doesn't work out of the box which is something I was afraid would happen.

    It seems to boot fine everything turns on but the monitor will not turn on. ive tried two different monitors.

    I tried to analyse the beep code, it beeps twice in total with about a 5 second gap between beeps.  Based on the beep codes for my mobo (asus p7h55-m evo) which I found at http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm   I thought the problem could be with the ram.  As this is the easiest thing to change, I didnt mind reseating it, im not to confident mucking about with any other hardware as I have no expierence.

    Alas this didn't solve the problem and whats worse is now the computer will not beep at all on start up.  If anyone could explain the significance of this to me, or give me any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

    Ill post some specs for my computer if that will help

    CPU: i5 750
    MOBO: asus p7h55-m evo
    RAM: 4gb crosair XMS3 DUAL DDR3 1600mhz
    graphics card: GTX 465
    600w PSU

    I know that it is frustrating to get a new PC which does not work straight away, and I have had been there myself. It is so tempting to think that it just needs a little tweak or setting change. It is crucial to keep firmly in mind that you have a warranty and you must not do anything that would void that. I hope there was not a seal on the case which you have broken. You have taken delivery of a computer which does not work. You absolutely must contact the seller and request their advice. Personally I would not be inclined to mention that I had opened the case or reseated the RAM.
