My friend is having a big problem with his motherboard. He says that when he powers it on it Beeps 4 long beeps then a pause then 3 more long beeps then a short beep and doesn't start up.
He is running Pentium 100Mhz, 170MBHD, and 32MB RAM. He has tried 2 video cards a 4MB and a 8MB getting the same problem. The motherboard says 'micronics computers inc.' on it. Thats all the info he gave me.

Need to know the motherboard bio manufacture or a mobo model #.

The beep code means the ram module is bad. Reseat the ram module. If that doesn't work, then you need to buy a new stick of ram.

It's either the RAM or the mobo itself. If you've tried known good sticks of RAM, then suspect the board itself.
