Beeps
Description
Troubleshooting steps
1
The memory refresh circuitry on the
system board is faulty.
Reseat the memory or replace with
modules you know are good.
2
Parity cannot be reset.
Same as for 1 beep.
3
Base memory test failure.
Same as for 1 beep.
4
System timer is not operational.
Remove all expansion cards.
■
If the beep code occurs even when all
expansion cards have been removed,
the system board may be at fault.
Contact Gateway Technical Support.
■
If the beep code does not occur when
the expansion cards have been
removed, one of the cards is causing
the problem. Install the cards one at a
time until the problem happens again.
When the beep code returns, the most
recent card you installed is at fault.

Set the Retest Processor option to
