beep codes? CPU fried? Help Please.

[Brainchild]

I just picked up a chaintech 7AJA2 mobo. Installed my t-bird,HSF,128 mb ram ( 1 stick) and my AGP Nvidia vanta. I get 1 long beep, and 4 or 5shorts, can't count that fast. Does this mean the CPU is fried?
It has Award BIOS.

Thanx In advance.

you could take out the vid card, try and see if the beeps are different

or if it beeps for ram, try taking it out, and seeing if its different

or take out the cpu and see if the beeps are different

dunno what, if any help that would be.. you could always find a manual

Hey I just changed the video card, and I guess I wasn't pushing them in far enough Anyways it is working now.
Maybe I can actually surf the net later instead of wade with this ol 233

Problem solved thanx

Award BIOS Beep Codes:



Beeps ,Error Message ,Description

1long, 2 short = Video adapter error Either video adapter is bad or is not seated properly. Also, check to ensure the monitor cable is connected properly.

Repeating (endless loop) Memory error Check for improperly seated or missing memory.

1long, 3short = No video card or bad video RAM Reseat or replace the video card.

High frequency beeeps while running Overheated CPU Check the CPU fan for proper operation. Check the case for proper air flow.

Repeating High/Low CPU 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 dont think the PC would beep at all if the CPU was bad or not installed properly

It feels good to be back on this little machine.
I,ver been using my 233, and it was sloooowww!, But now I finally got my 750T-bird back running, man a month s a long time lol.....
Anyway, I got some tweaking to do, be back later, just and to say it works pretty good as it is.

Actually it does beep when there is no CPU, or it is fried, or it isn't seated properly. That's one cool feature of the BIOS beep codes, if you know what the beeps tell you, then there is a very good chance you'll find what's wrong with the PC

actually the easiest way to know if your CPU is fried, is by that luscious barbeque aroma that emanates from your case....
