    Computer Boot up problems

    Okay guys - just two quick questions for you!

    a) When a pc starts up, how can you work out what it's trying to tell you by how many times it beeps?

    and

    b) If, when you try to start a PC, the fans only go around and nothing else happens, what could be wrong with it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Joe

    Hi Jephree!

    That link is great and has helped lots.

    as for b) - there are no beeps.

    Remove all the RAM and see if it BEEPS then.

    If not you might have a dead motherboard.

    This is assuming that the motherboard or case speaker is working.

    It's a friend's anyway so it doesn't matter too much if the board is dead!

    Thanks for your help
