Keyboard or another non-POST issue

If the computer boots and works normal, apart from the constant beeping or solid beep, it’s likely you’re encountering a keyboard or system case issue.

  • When booting the computer, I receive several beeps.

Not passing POST

If your computer is not booting or you are not getting any display, your computer is not passing the POST. Often the beep code is caused by one of the following reasons.

  • One or more of the fans are not working or do not have a power connection connected to them. Open your computer and verify that all power connections are firmly connected. Verify each of the fans are working by leaving the case open and turning on the computer. If your video card has a fan, it also may have a power connector. Make sure a power connector is also firmly connected to the video card.
  • Computer is not passing the POST because of improper connections or damaged hardware. Follow all POST troubleshooting steps.
  • See the POST definition for further information and related links.
