BIOS Beep Codes
Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS displays an error message
describing the problem. The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short
tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or no card installed) or if
an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero.
An external ROM module (for example, a video BIOS) can also issue audible errors, usually
consisting of one long tone followed by a series of short tones. For more information on the
beep codes issued, check the documentation for that external device.
