Giving 5 beep but no display

[hamzaemad121]

Hello,I have pretty decent cpu it was working fine untill yesterday.In middle of working my cpu just shut down.I thought it was p.cable problem and changed it. After that it ran for 20-30 min again it shutdown and after that whenever I turn it it gives 5 beep and then nothing no display. I opened and checked and also refit everything but no result. And the case fan,cpu cooler, gpu work whenever I turn it on
Plzzzzzzzzzzz help me
(Sorry for a big paragraph)

Hi there. What are full system specs?

If the motherboard has an AMI BIOS I think 5 (short) beeps means processor failure. But bad processors and CPUs going bad is so so rare, it's the least probable possibility, especially this one that worked before.

Have you tried re-seating the CPU power connector again?

Maybe the board is shorting to the body of the case? Is the motherboard seating firmly flat on standoffs?

Maybe the CPU is not seating properly, have you moved the case recently?

Any recent hardware changes? Installed or removed any components? Recent BIOS update?

I had this problem with a gigabtye mobo. Changing from ultrafast boot to fast boot in bios fixed the problem. Do you have a gigabyte?

 

[hamzaemad121]

Sir,
Yes my bios is ami.
Yes I have tried to re-seat the cpu power connect.
But Sir, there is no chance of the board shorting to the case as the case was never changed from the beginning.
The only new hardware is a monitor.
No there was no bios update recently.
is there any solution to this problem?

No mine isnt from gigabyte it from fujitsu.

OK, it's a Fujitsu proprietary system I guess.

While the PC is off unplug the power. Then unplug HDD/s and optical drive (if any) and front USB ports from the motherboard. Remove the RAM sticks too.

When you power on the system it should give a beep code relevant to no memory (maybe continuous beeping).

If this does happen we can say the CPU is OK as the POST has moved from CPU to motherboard RAM and not found any.

A damaged expansion card, the CPU, or the motherboard could be prompting this 5 beep AMI code. One option can be re-seating the CPU. If that doesn't work, try re-seating any expansion cards. Can you perhaps test the CPU on another system?


Mixing and matching RAM can cause unpredictable results. However, since you said there has been no recent hardware upgrade/addition and the system used to work with this RAM 2GB+2GB + 8GB+8GB configuration it might be that one of the RAM sticks has gone bad.


Try booting the system with the 2GB sitck in proper slots, two modules should go in A1 and B1 as instructed by system manual here:

ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/pub/mainboard-oem-sales/products/mainboards/eol/EoL_Industrial&ExtendedLifecycle/D3062-B/Documentation/Manual_D3061_D3062.pdf

If that does work with 2GB sticks, the problem might be with one of 8GB RAM. Then try booting with one of them at a time in slot A1.


If that does work with 8GB sticks, the problem might be with one of 2GB RAM. Then try booting with one of them at a time in slot A1.

Sir, I have unpluged the hdds, the front usb ports also the ram. But instead of giving one long beep it gave only one short beep. Then I setup the only ram as you directed. But it gave 5 beep as it gave before.

 

[Satan-IR]

Is there a clear CMOS jumper on the motherboard? I didn't find anything about that in the manual I linked here.

Booting with only the CPU and no 5 beeps means the CPU is probably OK.

Try the RAM sticks one by one 2GB or 8GB.

Start with one of the 2GB sticks and put in A1. If the same 5 beeps move it to other slots and see if it boots. Then repeat this with other sticks one at the time first in A1 then other slots.

Maybe one of the RAM sticks or RAM slots have problems.

I just had this same problem with 5 short beeps - CPU Failture. My solution was the ram. Had to try different configurations of the ram to diagnose which one was bad.

Your problem is very likely also the ram by the sounds of it.

 

[hamzaemad121]

Sir, I have tried booting with every single stick on every channel but it same 5 beep

Given that you've tried booting with a single stick of ram and still got 5 beeps. And same using just the other stick of ram. You've tried this in different ram slots. You've tried reseating the CPU and made sure the cpu pins are not bent and there is no gunk or dirt on the pins or the cpu itself and its making good contact. You've removed all peripherals like HHD, any expansion slot, CD/DVD Drive, front panel connections onto mainboard, all USB peripherals like mouse/keyboard/printer/etc. The only things plugged into mainboard are: Case fans, CPU, CPU fan, RAM, motherboard power connector from PSU, CPU 6/8pin power connector from PSU. Nothing else. And still you get 5 beeps.

Here is the order of things I would go through if I were you. In this exact order:
- Bios issue. Need to clear CMOS. This is the first thing you should do just as an assurance.
- Assume both ram sticks are bad. Try to test them in another PC? Obtain another ram for testing? Could go to a computer repair store have them test it using a working stick of ram. I find that bad ram is still your most likely culprit.
- If PC still 5 beeps with known working ram. Than your PSU is the next likely culprit. This is very likely as they don't last forever. Generally 5-10 years max. I'd suggest getting a hold of another PSU to test power the system with. You're only using 2 connections to power the mainboard to test so its not hard at all if you can get another working PSU.

The following I'd consider last resort solutions. I find these rarely ever break down unless there's a power outage (power surge) or something similar that causes it. However if you've exhausted the above solutions (which is MUCH MORE likely to break down) then you can move onto the following:
- Motherboard is fried. Probably a MOSFET/voltage regulator. This is more likely to burn than the CPU. There's really no fix besides replacement.
- CPU has fried. Try to test it in another PC? I find this least likely to be your problem.
