Award BIOS is very common. But, they don’t do much in the way of
beep codes. Award holds that the only BIOS beeps you will hear are 1
Long, and some short combination after. They all indicate a problem
either with memory or video, as these are the only problems that would
keep the system from doing anything. Any other errors will be given an
on-screen error.

These tables serve as a stepping stone to troubleshooting your system. You can use them to read into the beep codes and better steer yourself in the right direction. You can then use our main troubleshooting section for help on troubleshooting the specific components you think could be the problem.

Thanks for this information. The beep codes came in very handy for diagnosing my computer
t powers up, but I get no video or a series of beep codes, Before I put in the new hard disk to set it up everything worked well. The Monitor button lights up but then goes into a sleep mode.
Any HELP on this matter will be gently appreciated
