Title: Phoenix Beepcode
Post by: xunil on March 29, 2018, 01:45:44 AM

Hello!

I try to boot from a mainboard with following error beepcodes: 1-3-3-1 and sometimes (!) 1-3-4-1
I have two identical mainboards and tried different ram, also both dimm sockets (single and dual).
I tried 2 different cpus and still same errors. I tried to reset the BIOS by removing the battery over night (no power supply). Nothing changes. Fan of cpu is working.

Any suggestions how to fix this? Thank you.

Please provide more info on which Motherboard Make/Model, what CPU, and what RAM your using so we can see if something stands out with hardware combination. Additionally knowing what other hardware you have such as power supply, video card, etc can also be helpful to see the whole picture of your build.  :)

did you look up those beep codes?
found this...  (would seem to point to bad RAM or dead mobo)

Also since the codes change intermittently 1st thing i would do is replace the CMOS battery...
