My old desktop got an ASUS A8N5X mother board, and sometime ago it stops working. Whenever when I try to boot it up, it ends up with the system beeps, one long, two short, and then repeat.
Then I look up Google and the manual, that signal means there is a problem on the display card, and/or a problem on the power supply part of the mother board. So I did everything I could imagine: Clean up the slots on the motherboard, and the display card, remove all the perpherals, check the power supply, and finally replace the GigaByte PCIE-16x display card with and old ELSA PCI display card, all didn’t help. I was thinking about send it back to ASUS for repair.
Today I called ASUS, and the tech support asked me to re-install the RAM. Hmm, why RAM? I know it’s the suspect for most hardware problems but the BIOS beeps told me it’s the display subsystem!
Anyway I did it and Bang! It worked! All I need to do is pull those two RAM out and then reinstall them back! It took me about a month to figure this out! What I have learned? Never let the BIOS beeps confuse you, try everything you could, even it looks unreasonable.
