AMIBIOS Beep Codes
------------------------------------------------------------
Except for beep code #8, these codes are always fatal.
1 beep Refresh failure
2 beeps Parity error
3 beeps Base 64K memory failure
4 beeps Timer not operational
5 beeps Processor error
6 beeps 8042 - gate A20 failure
7 beeps Processor exception interrupt error
8 beeps Display memory read/write failure
9 beeps ROM checksum error
10 beeps CMOS shutdown register read/write error
11 beeps Cache memory bad
------------------------------------------------------------
For 1 beep, 2 beeps, or 3 beeps try reseating the memory
first. If the error still occurs, replace the memory with
known good chips.
For 4 beeps, 5 beeps, 7 beeps, or 10 beeps the system board
must be sent in for repair.
For 6 beeps try reseating the keyboard controller chip. If
the error still occurs, replace the keyboard chip. If the
error persists, check parts of the system relating to the
keyboard, e.g. try another keyboard, check to see if the
system has a keyboard fuse.
8 beeps indicates a memory error on the video adapter.
Replace the video card or the memory on the video card.
9 beeps indicates faulty BIOS chip(s). It is not likely
that this error can be corrected by reseating the chips.
Consult the motherboard supplier or an AMI product
distributor for replacement part(s).
