gigabyte bx 2000 beeps

[WOLVERINE]

can any body shed some light on why a gigabyte bx2000<br>motherboard would give a continous two tone siren when<br>booting from cold only????<br>i have replaced memory for some i know to be good<br>also cd roms and graphics card the bios shows no <br>protection errors when two tone is sounding so<br>i presume the bios is ok even though it is the dual<br>bios type.<br>all the pci\isa cards have been checked for good connections<br>and all appear to work fine in the windows enviroment<br>(win98se)as i have already mentioned this only happens one the first boot from cold when the system is warm it is fine<br>....any ideas?????

It is possible that their is an error with the CMOS battery.&nbsp;&nbsp;The only reason i though this is when the computer is off the BIOS chip settings are comletely dependent on the CMOS battery.&nbsp;&nbsp;When you boot it and leave it on, the battery is recharged.&nbsp;&nbsp;One thing you could try is to make a change to a nonimportant bios setting, shut it down completely.&nbsp;&nbsp;then reboot it and see if the bios setting is still there.&nbsp;&nbsp;If this is the case you might need a new CMOS battery or the CMOS battery connection could be damaged.&nbsp;&nbsp;if none of these things work out the connection to the speaker on the motherboard is usually removable <br>hope this helps<br><br>ackka<br><A HREF="mailto:tmoses@iname.com">tmoses@iname.com</A> <p>moses<br><a href=mailto:tmoses@iname.com>tmoses@iname.com</a><br><a href=

Also CMOS batteries can die after quite a while, even rechargebles die, if we could keep recharging bateries wouldnt need to throw them away all the time.On a last resort option, try removing most of the componet, and put them back in one at a time, testing the computer each time. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

This could also be a problem with the power supply in the system.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've had a bx2000 system beep like that after running for a while.&nbsp;&nbsp;We found the PS was giving erratic voltages.&nbsp;&nbsp;We replaced the PS and it worked fine.<br><br>Maniac<br><A HREF="mailto:maniac@datafast.net.au">maniac@datafast.net.au</A>
