I hope someone can give some suggestions.
I have successfully built two Intel-based computers in the past.
This is my first go with a AMD-based Computer.
To my knowlege, I am certain I have done everything correctly.
Here is my problem:
On attempting my first POST, with my WinXP Pro disk in the drive,
I get a "BIOS Beep" , One long Beep, followed by two short beeps.
This pattern repeats, and I an unable to complete P.O.S.T.
My ASUS MoBo has a "Phoenix/AWARD" BIOS. I have traced this "Beep Code"
pattern (research on the Net) to be "Video related".
(I will give a hardware run-down at the end)
Just to be sure, I replaced the Video Card with another, with the same result.
I hope someone can give suggestions for a "cure" to this problem. All else seems
fine. I have not been to this forum in quite some time, so if this question has come
up before, PLEASE point me to the thread.
Here is my Hardware:
ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE
AMD ATHLON X2 6000+
CORSAIR XMS 2Gb
XFX 7600GS Video Card (Fanless)
ASUS DVD/CD-ROM SATA
WD 74 Gb Raptor HD SATA
Zalman 600W PSU
Blue Orb CPU Fan
(This Rack-Mounted Unit is to be used for Music, hince the Fanless Video Card and Quiet PSU)
I HOPE someone can Help. ASUS has been unresponsive.
