asrock = useless pricks
I have a Z97M Anniversary mainboard. Doesn't boot, emits 6 beeps.
I have done all the usual crap, swapping RAM, graphics card, CMOS battery, power supply ad nauseum.... The user manual doesn't have page for beep codes. I tried searching the asrock website, just get 500 internal server error. Goodnight clowns, I will never buy anything from them again. |

Every brand, regardless of the underlying product category, has its base of anti-fans who swear they will never buy that brand again. There are countless web sites that describe various beep codes. You'd want to start with knowing who made the BIOS so that you can go down the right path. https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97M%20Anniversary/ https://download.asrock.com/Manual/Z...nniversary.pdf "64Mb AMI UEFI Legal BIOS with multilingual GUI support" A developer can foul up a BIOS and put just about any Port 80 code or beep pattern they want. Normally, a company like Asrock would not have source for all of that code! You can tell this, based on how some "issues" have been patched in the past. The sloppiness tells you they don't have source for the bringup section. Their access is mainly for feature adjustments. [ Warning: Annoying adverts! ] http://www.bioscentral.com/ http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm Has the usual sorts of codes. 1 long, 2 short Failure in video system An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered 1 long, 3 short Memory test failure A fault has been detected in memory above 64KB And this is 6 beeps, if you thought the old beep codes apply to the new UEFI BIOS... 6 short Gate A20 failure The keyboard controller IC has failed, which is not allowing Gate A20 to switch the processor to protected mode. Replace the keyboard controller ******* Randomly bobbing for apples gets me: https://ami.com/ami_downloads/Aptio_V_Status_Codes.pdf DXE Beep Codes 6 Flash update is failed https://ami.com/en/tech-blog/acronym-soup-what-is-dxe/ "The acronym DXE stands for Driver eXecution Environment and begins after the Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) phase or in the presence of a valid Hand-Off Block (HOB) list. The DXE phase consists of a few components, DXE Core, DXE Dispatcher, and DXE drivers. The Core component is responsible for producing a set of Boot Services, DXE Services, and Runtime Services. The Dispatcher component is responsible for discovering and executing DXE drivers in the correct order. Finally, the drivers are responsible for initializing chipset, processor, and platform components. The DXE phase has a sub phase known the boot device selection (BDS) phase for booting an operating system The DXE Phase ends when the operating system is successfully booted. The only things that remains of DXE phase are runtime data structures and services allocated by the DXE Core along with services and data structures produced by runtime DXE drivers. " Which do we believe ? An old beep definition that doesn't make sense ? A new beep definition that doesn't make sense ? Paul |
