Please Help, Can’t Get Computer To Start Right

by adidasallstarguy . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

ok so here is my problem, when powering on the fans like to kick on then power down before the whole computer starts. Sometimes I will get one long beep, others I can’t even get anything to show up on the screen. I have got a few post codes, it is a Biostar board with award bios. Below are the post codes listed. I have tried 3 sticks of Buffalo Select Ram that I am pretty sure is good, and some new Kingston memory.

(17)Test struck 8259?s interrupt bits; Turn off interrupt then verify no interrupt mask
register is on. Setup video I/O operations.

32)Display the Award Plug & Pla y BIOS extension message(PnP BIOS only).Test
EISA extended memory; If EISA mode flag is set then te st EISA memory found in
slots initialization, T his test is skipped in ISA mode and can be skipped with ESC
key in EISA mode.
