PC shuts down and beeps

[GlennM97]

I built a pc about a year ago follow by nine months of flawless operating. Recently it will blink off and beep (long beeps) continuously until you power off or reset the system; or it will freeze. I have a tyan s2507 tiger 230 mobo, 1 ghz PIII 512 mb PC133 ram. I have played with replacing, removing, switching order of the ram but to no avail. If someone could help me it would be grealty appreciated. Thanks.

Re: PC shuts down and beeps

Get Memtest from my signature and test the memory with it. You're getting a continous POST beep, which generally indicates a memory problem. However, you may want to look at Tyan's web site or the board's manual to be sure what the POST beep indicates.

Re: PC shuts down and beeps

Tyan only refers the consumer to the Award Monitoring site to look up beep codes. I have looked into this and it does indicate memory failure. However, it doesn't seem to matter what memory is installed, the problem persists. I will try the Memtest a try and see what it says. Thank you.

Re: PC shuts down and beeps

I ran the memory test and it said there were no errors. Any other suggestions?

Re: PC shuts down and beeps

You should try reseting the CMOS. If that doesn't work, take everything off the motherboard except the processor and take the CMOS battery out. Wait a while, and hook everything up. If that doesn't work, either the memory isn't in properly or the board is likely somehow damaged.

Re: PC shuts down and beeps

Not sure about the 2nd error, but the 1st isnt about your memory.. your DHCP allocators scope isnt configged correctly try this :

Open the cmd prompt (start--run-- cmd)
Then type the following : (each line has to be ended with an enter)

netsh
routing
ip
autodhcp
show (if show returns "not installed" then type : install ")
set mode online
set global 192.168.2.0 255.255.252.0 10000
show global

-------------------------

This should return the following :

DHCP Allocator Configuration Information

----------------------------------------

Scope Network : 192.168.2.0 This address and mask
Scope Mask : 255.255.252.0 reflects your network
Lease Time (minutes) : 10000
Logging Level : Verbose

you could add an ip adress exclusion by typing

add exclusion 192.168.2.16

this will have the DHCP allocator NOT give away ip 192.168.2.16, for example if you have any ip dependent services running on one of your boxes



This should at least solve your 1st error.
Good luck
