RE: Dead Computer.. but which bit?

[Frost Neil <Neil.Frost@xxxxxxx>]

Generally if you get beeps it's not the processor, you'll just get
nothing
at all if the CPU is dead.

How many beeps? There will normally be one beep to start then the error
code
which will then repeat. Listen for a slight gap and try and count them.

But this all depends on the Mboard.

Did that, 

As I understand it the continious beeping at POST means that there is a
fault with the motherboard, processor or power supply...

Subject: [ukha_d] Dead Computer.. but which bit?

Morning all

I had one of those evenings last night..

I had emptied out Node 0 to finish laying flooring in there (walk in
cupboard)

So before putting my HA pc back, I thought I would do a couple of
"quick"
upgrades...

I decided to add an extra memory stick to it, and when I rebooted I got
lots
of continious beeps on start up. Opening up the box, I found out I had
installed it round the wrong way (don't ask me how!)

So I removed it and tried to restart... still continious beeps on
startup...
although it does then do the POST checks for disc drives). but does not
output anything to the screen.

(I have tried the memory in another machine, and it works fine).

Does anyone have any idea of which bit I have fried... Motherboard or
Processor (Or is it both). As I need to order replacements asap, and
would
rather not replace both!

Regards

Daniel
