P4P800 Deluxe - no POST beep on startup
Hi,
I recently set up a new system using the P4P800 Deluxe motherboard, P4 2.8g CPU, 1024 ram, ATI 9600 pro video, etc. All worked beautifully for about a month, then one morning, the computer just hung on startup. I had not made any changes to the system the days before so this was unexpected. Repeated boots gave nonsense messages like "overclocking failed" (it's not overclocked) and "CMOS check sum error". Sometimes there was no video at all. Then, I just got endless loop startups, where the machine rebooted as windows started. I tried re-seating the memory chips, then (thinking the CMOS) might be corrupted) re-flashed the bios to 1014 (same as it was before). Funny thing is that once the machine finally did boot into Windows, it will run rock solid all day - never had a windows crash or blue screen. Anyway, the machine has been working properly for the last couple of days, except that the startup "beep" which reports that POST has been completed correctly, does not occur any more. The machine still starts and runs faultlessly, but I am concerned that it should beep on startup as it used to, and that there is still a problem that will manifest itself again when I can least afford to deal with it. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks, Keithm. |

1014 took away ALL beeps for me. So I think that is normal. If you did not
set the bios to default settings after flashing to 1014 before, you might not have noticed this. "Keithm" wrote in message ...

Also, if you had a USB device connected -- the beep you heard may have been
due to that (not a successful post). 1014 got rid of the USB device beep on start-up (again, that required loading default settings after flashing to 1014). "Keithm" wrote in message ...
