POST BEEP CODES

Post Beep Codes, AMI & Phoenix/Award BIOS error codes








Building a new PC or installing new hardware is fairly straight forward until things go wrong.

This page is © Copyright 2001-2008 helpwithpcs.com

Before you follow this tutorial you must read the terms of our disclaimer.

When a PC is first switched on or reset it performs a special diagnostic test called a POST (Power-On Self Test), to check all of the components in the PC the POST program sends out a signal to each device initialising each device's built-in self test procedure.
The POST test is a two stage process, first it will check all of the basic components including amongst other things the system clock, the processor, RAM, the keyboard controller and the Video Card.

When a device fails the first part of the POST, the BIOS will send a series of beeps from the PC's speaker (internal) to inform the PC user that there is a problem, these beeps are coded allowing the user to diagnose the troublesome component.

After the video has been tested the BIOS will then indicate any errors encountered by displaying either a numeric code or a text message on the screen.

When the POST has been completed successfully the PC will make a short beep to let the user know everything is as it should be.
