4 Long Beeps Then Shutdown On Award BIOS

@ Agent - you are right - I was looking at a table with speeds for ATA 1 & 2 which run @ 11 & 13 respectively, whereas PIO 4 tops out at 16. My bad.

interesting but my beeps are happening on shutdown they are not occuring on startup and the machine is running sweet. It starts up fine, it runs fine and it shuts down fine. Only problem is that when I shutdown it gives this beep sequence before the juice stops. Very strange. I have swapped out the RAM for some other and played with a variety of bios settings and still no change. I got the beep sequence slightly wrong: Its One Long and 5 Short, not one long and 4 short as I said earlier. Anyway I am, after spending all this time getting the darn hard drive to run in udma, actually going to swap it out anyway :( :) because I found a P3 700 in a half decent mobo that had a 10Gb drive attached and I also found another 10Gb drive and a 6.4Gb drive. On top of this I found an old asus slot one board and a celeron 633 sckt370 in a slot 1 converter so I am going to rearrange the drives to fit the CPU's if you see what I mean. I will post back if the new install of win98se on this sckt7 mobo still beeps at me! Or if it dosnt for that matter.
Thanks all

I was thinking the fan was powering down before the system was completely off, hence the fan fail warning. Anyway, might not be relevant as it's 1 long & 5 short.

The only thing I can advise is that you determine the BIOS type (AMI, Award, Phoenix) the google for it - eg:

Award BIOS beep 1 long 5 short

All I can find is 5 short = processor failure for Award / AMI BIOSes.

Hi,
thanks for the advice but I did mention earlier that it was an award bios. I have checked what that means with award and it isnt listed anywhere I can find! But then again we are accustomed to geting beeps at startup not a normal shutdown. As for fan fail warning, I've tried letting the thing post with the cpu fan unplugged and I just get the normal single short beep. I cant find an option in bios to do with fan fail warnings either so I must presume the board dosnt have such a feature. Oh well. tis a mystery gov....
