My system was running good for 2-3 years. It stopped booting. On
Power up, it starts beeping and gives sequence of 8 beeps.
It has onboard video card, audio card, etc.
I even tried with an external video card but still beeps.
I did all the things mentioned about checking the AMD chip if burnt,
or chipped on corners etc., nothing of that sort and it seems to be
fine.
Removed the memory and tried, as excepted no sound at all.
Tried clearing cmos by jumpering to 1-2 and back to 2-3 etc.
On this board 1-2 clears cmos and 2-3 default. (It is written on the
board itself).
Trieid with one of my 2 x 256 mb rams and tried with replacing the
other and still 8 beeps.
It has AMI BIOS 686 @1999 BB48 1930
Anyways I do not know what these numbers mean.
As a final resort took out the mother board to see if I can take out
or disable the onboard video card. No luck.
ahh I forgot to mention this. Since few days it started giving
problems in booting but after few times of power on and off used to
boot.
The last time, I went to advance bios setup and disabled the System
memory cacheable which used to be 32k. Immediately after that it
started giving video memory problems and finally now 8 beeps.
What other alternatives are left and whatelse can I try.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
