Hi All,
Not great for a first post here but here we go...
I used to build AMD PCs 6 years ago and recently I decided to build an Intel C2D system, so I know the basics of PC building (and to some extent overclocking).
The new system consists of:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
Abit FP-IN9 SLi (Fatal1ty) Mobo
Corsair XMS2 PC6400 dual channel (2Gb/800Mhz)
XFX 8600 GT (Fatal1ty)
Zalman 600Watt PSU
SATA DVD Burner
IDE DVD Burner
Maxtor 120 GB IDE HDD
(some other non-essential peripherals that will be installed once it runs!!)
The problem:
I installed everything and hit the on button, no beep from the PC Speaker. I un-installed everything with exception to GFX, CPU and RAM. Still no Beep. Removed GFX. No Beep. Removed Ram. Constant tone. Install Ram, constant tone. Install GFX, constant tone. (The RAM was in DIMM 1 and 3 but once I installed it to DIMM 2 and 4 I got the constant tone.)
I can't find what the BIOS constant error tone means; I'm used to two tone errors or a sort of morse code long and short beeps.
Any help/advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!
PS I would search on here for similar issues only a) I am having to use the PC at work to get online and b) this is monitored and history logged hence c) I have been warned twice before over internet abuse at work...
