PC issue

Tags: Hardware, Operating Systems, Windows

I get the 4 long beeps even with a fresh working stick of RAM in, using a GPU, no output nothing, it is able to power devices like SSDs and USB Sticks but that’s it. It can read DVDs/CDs but it does nothing with them since it has nothing to do with them

Sounds like a dead motherboard. There’s too little a story here along with no make, model and age of the parts. Recently a PC at the shop arrived without the CMOS battery. Owner claims “oh that isn’t needed.” Popped in a battery, set the CMOS values to defaults and done. Owner wanted to dispute the repair bill. It’s fixed so you must pay for the repair.

Reminds me of the story about the PC manufacturer rep who got a call that the computer was not turning on from an upset customer.

He asked them if the computer was plugged in to the wall and the customer said, “I can’t tell let me get a flashlight, it’s too dark for me to see”. The technician asks why and the customer replies, “The power is off at my house”.

BIOS códigos

Los pitidos en el arranque son diagnósticos generados por la BIOS. Mira la marca de fabricante de la BIOS y busca que significan esos 4 pitidos. Generalmente tiene que ver con la memoria RAM. El zócalo de conexión puede estar sucio, la memoria dañada. Prueba cambiando de lugar la memoria. Ponle un modulo de memoria que hayas probado que funciona en otra PC. Limpia los contactos de memoria RAM con un borrador escolar.

The long beeps that you are hearing are typically associated with a problem with the memory or RAM in the computer
