| HELP - Continuous beeping sound while booting I think my mobo is about to karput.... but before i trash it out... is there anybody in this forum can help me before my mobo goes into its final journey... Mobo = EPOX 8kta3+ While in memory test, it gives a continuous beeping sound till after i got a message that my computer cannot start up because one of the file is corrupt or missing.... this file.... ntoskrnl.* it means that i cannot get into my windows XP i only got this message everytime the beeping sound appear but if while booting, there is no sound, i can boot windows XP normally (success rate 1 out of 10 now!!! - very frustrating...) Actions already taken: 1. Swap power supply 2. Change keyboard and mouse to USB - suspected that the continuous beeping sound due to faulty PS/2 port 3. Re-format hard drive and reinstall window (this is done as like i say before, when no beeping sound, i can enter window normally - the success rate is 1 out of 10 trials normally) 4. Swp SDRAM from other computer. Read it somewhere that most mobo manuacturer has characteristic beeping (alarm) sound that can somehow pin point the cause... well anybody here can explain me the alarm? System Thunderbird O/C from 1.0 to 1.4 SDRAM 512 MB - One stick Elsa gladiac 64 MB IBM - 7200 rpm 40 GB harddisk HELP please... anybody!!!

I saw the exact same error.. There are a few different causes, but in my neighbor's case, it was bad memory. Before I told him, he tried a repair of XP, and the problem kept popping up... I swapped the memory for him, but again, the problem popped up... so I told him to start over and reinstall windows again. At this point, you have 2 problems.. The corruption of data itself and whatever caused it. You have to find the cause first, fix it, then fix the data... Start with memtest to see if memory is ok. ONly after isolating the cause, fix the data (reinstall XP).

| Beep alarms are used in situations where the display is unlikely to be functioning correctly, i.e. memory fault or display hardware fault. The LED post code display is a better solution for fault finding assuming your board has this feature.

| Hi guys and gals... thanks for all your reply.... sorry for late reply... been out of office for a while.. anyway.... did all the said suggestions already... downclock to normal 1 Ghz... different bank... different memory stick... even tried 100 MHz memory stick.. all of them... but still in vain.. but strangely... the mobo LED gave FF signal, which mean that the mobo boots up normally... strange... the only thing left is.. reinstall XP - (damn!) is it really necessary? do you mean clean install or just reinstall should be suffice? thinking of a new mobo now... about time i think... ok... will try to clean reinstall tonight... then we will see.. thanks everybody...
