Endless repeated beep ?

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

Faulty memory, no memory, beep beep beep.

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

Guys what does it mean by endless repeated beep ?

Reseat the RAM... It's a RAM code, at least with an Award BIOS...

CPU problem probably would be zero bleeps...

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

Ok, it means the CPU is doing the job...it's compatible...
only the spec is saying it's not compatible but in the circuit it's doing the job...
All right I'll have a look again and post...

Cheers

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

Ok...here's what I got....
when there was no memory.....POST = C1C1 and short beep repeatedly
and I put memory...the beep is gone but it's still POST = C1C1 and not moving anywhere...
I try to seat memory on every position and combination...still the same...
and the memory is fully tested working....
So return again....does the CPU matter ?
because I don't see something running on POST diagnostic at all only 0000 then jump to C1C1 and freeze with memory....without memory same thing with short beep repeatedly...

Any ideas ? or clueless already ?

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

The BIOS belongs to HP, so may be there are some revisions, it's not either AMI or AWARD...

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

it has ability for this celeron, ( celeron 420 ) :

what I used (celeron D 346 ):
http://ark.intel.com/products/27125/...Hz-533-MHz-FSB

That's the CPU fact I can see...

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

There's a possibility that BIOS is scanning for CPU id and saying it's not CPU...that's what I can think of from the data I have read..

Seems just as likely for there to be termination voltage issues... Possibly with it appearing to be a 90 nm! Especially on-die RAM termination and/or FSB termination...

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

okay, if that's what you think, what voltage should I see for RAM ? 1.8V ? which FET ?

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

So you think the motherboard can accept this Celeron 346D ?

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

okay, if that's what you think, what voltage should I see for RAM ? 1.8V ? which FET ?

1.8 V is standard for DDR2 SDRAM voltage.

And for the FETs I would first check the CPU FETs then the RAM FETs.

It looks like it should work with a Celeron D 346, because it's socket 775, but dunno...

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

Ok, let's see the FETs voltage...what's the normal voltage for CPU ? 1.25 -1.38V ?

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

I tested on FET, which is the biggest near the CPU = 09N03LA

Diode test in circuit drain to source =0.23V either way .... black to red, red to black probe...normally one of them should be OL
And it looks burn....there is chance, this one is the faulty FET..since I can't see the label anymore...could be burned ?

I'm not sure, because I haven't seen the voltage on it...
In progress...

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

and the FET is in circuit, so it could be something else unless I desolder and check it..

[diif]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

So you checked the memory with memtest86+ ?

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

I've checked the memory, no problem

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

I've measured the voltage for DDR2...all are ok 1.8V...and voltage for CPU 1.35V which is normal...
The only thing I can think of, is testing it with the proper CPU according to the spec...

Clock is ok I reckon...I can see 0000 jump to C1C1 and blinking LED repeatedly, and beep....at least it's responding to clock generator...

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

u have to use one of the cpus in the supported list. there are some oem boards out there which will only work with cpus in the supported list. the cpu u are trying to use is a prescott based celeron with a 533mhz fsb. i believe the motherboard can only work with cpus with an 800-1333 mhz fsb from the cpu list u posted.

also, it seems the motherboard will only support cpus based on the core architecture. cpus based on the prescott design are unsupported thus the mobo will not post and the mobo will just "play dead" instead. i've seen some mobos play dead if u try an unsupported cpu.

[bianchi77]

Re: Endless repeated beep ?

@chaoslegionnaire....
Yes, that's what I've been thinking, my mobo doesn't support prescott core,
I need conroe core at least....it has the same LGA775 but different core and the BIOS is already designed to detect CPUID....and if it's not right...no POST...
I'll find conroe CPU and keep posted..
