Beeping Problem.

by nononononon Jun 26, 2006 7:33AM PDT

Alright, my brother just gave me an old Asus desktop. Whenever I try to power it on, it starts beeping, and doesn't start. How can I find out what the problem is?

Beep Codes

Like Wayne suggests, search for the beep codes for that particular model #. The beeps are telling you the nature of the problem. Once you understand the codes, you'll be on your way to repairing the machine.
