AMI (American Megatrends International) BIOS Beep Codes. AMI BIOS uses beeps of the same length and pitch. The error is displayed as a number of beeps. For example, 4 beeps indicated a timer failure. |
BEEP CODE | MEANING | POSSIBLE CAUSE | 1 Beep (No video) | Memory refresh failure | Bad memory | 2 Beeps | Memory parity error | Bad memory | 3 Beeps | Base 64K mem failure | Bad memory | 4 Beeps | Timer not operational | Bad motherboard | 5 Beeps | Processor error | Bad processor | 6 Beeps | 8042 Gate A20 failure | Bad CPU or Motherboard | 7 Beeps | Processor exception | Bad processor | 8 Beeps | Video memory error | Bad video card or memory | 9 Beeps | ROM checksum error | Bad BIOS | 10 Beeps | CMOS checksum error | Bad motherboard | 11 Beeps | Cache memory bad | Bad CPU or motherboard | | |

Award BIOS Beep Codes |
Award BIOS uses beeps of varying duration. A long beep will typically last for 2 seconds while a short beep will last only 1 second. Award BIOS also uses beeps of different frequency to indicate critical errors. If an Award BIOS detects that the CPU is overheating it may play a high pitched repeating beep while the computer is running. |
BEEP CODE | MEANING | POSSIBLE CAUSE | 1 Long, 2 Short | Video adapter failure | Bad video adapter | Repeating (Endless loop) | Memory error | Bad memory or bad connection | 1 Long, 3 Short | Video adapter failure | Bad video adapter or memory | High freq. beeps (while running) | CPU is overheating | CPU fan failure | Repeating High, Low beeps | CPU failure | Bad processor | | |

Phoenix BIOS Beep Codes |
Phoenix BIOS uses beep code patterns to indicate problems. In the table below the '-' indicates a brief pause between beeps. Example: 1 - 1 - 2 would sound like BEEP <pause> BEEP <pause> BEEP BEEP |
BEEP CODE | MEANING | POSSIBLE CAUSE | 1 - 1 - 2 | CPU / motherboard failure | Bad CPU / motherboard | 1 - 1 - 3 | CMOS read/write failure | Bad motherboard | 1 - 1 - 4 | BIOS ROM failure | Bad BIOS chip | 1 - 2 - 1 | Timer failure | Bad motherboard | 1 - 2 - 2 | DMA failure | Bad motherboard | 1 - 2 - 3 | DMA failure | Bad motherboard | 1 - 3 - 1 | Memory refresh failure | Bad memory | 1 - 3 - 2 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 1 - 3 - 3 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 1 - 3 - 4 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 1 - 4 - 1 | Address line failure | Bad memory | 1 - 4 - 2 | Parity error | Bad memory | 1 - 4 - 3 | Timer failure | Bad motherboard | 1 - 4 - 4 | NMI port failure | Bad motherboard | 2 - 1 - 1 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 1 - 2 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 1 - 3 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 1 - 4 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 2 - 1 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 2 - 2 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 2 - 3 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 2 - 4 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 3 - 1 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 3 - 2 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 3 - 3 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 3 - 4 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 4 - 1 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 4 - 2 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 4 - 4 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 2 - 4 - 4 | 64K memory failure | Bad memory | 3 - 1 - 1 | Slave DMA failure | Bad motherboard | 3 - 1 - 2 | Master DMA failure | Bad motherboard | 3 - 1 - 3 | Interrupt controller failure | Bad motherboard | 3 - 1 -4 | Slave IC failure | Bad motherboard | 3 - 2 -2 | Interrupt Controller failure | Bad motherboard | 3 - 2 - 3 | <RESERVED> | | 3 - 2 - 4 | Keyboard control failure | Bad motherboard | 3 - 3 - 1 | CMOS batter failure | Bad CMOS battery | 3 - 3 - 2 | CMOS configuration error | Incorrect setting | 3 - 3 - 3 | <RESERVED> | | 3 - 3 - 4 | Video memory failure | Bad video card or memory | 3 - 4 - 1 | Video init failure | Bad video card or memory | 4 - 2 - 1 | Timer failure | Bad motherboard | 4 - 2 - 2 | CMOS shutdown failure | Bad motherboard | 4 - 2 - 3 | Gate A20 failure | Bad motherboard | 4 - 2 - 4 | Unexpected interrupt | Bad processor | 4 - 3 - 1 | RAM test failure | Bad memory | 4 - 3 - 3 | Timer failure | Bad motherboard | 4 - 3 - 4 | RTC failure | Bad motherboard | 4 - 4 - 1 | Serial port failure | Bad motherboard | 4 - 4 - 2 | Parallel port failure | Bad motherboard | 4 - 4 - 3 | Coprocessor failure | Bad motherboard or CPU. | 9 - 2 - 1 | Video adapter incompatibility | Use a different brand of video card | | |
