Title: Ringing sounds meanings
Post by: Hu on June 09, 2007, 10:43:50 PM

When I on the computer there is a continous ringing sound till I press ctr alt del. Failed to locate the right computer hope web page - prehaps there is a page somewhere and I have missed it, need help on the link to the right web page where different ringings sounds mean different hardware failures.

Thank for the help.

Looks like it is 3 short beeps - 64K RAM failure.
Do I replace the RAM or I have to change the mother broad?

Thanks.

You could try re-seating the RAM first as it may have worked it's way loose.
After that DLoad and run MemTest to see if in fact the RAM has failed...ant errors at all from MemTest and it should be replaced.
