PC Error Codes,
Beeps, and
Diagnostic
Messages
BM PCcompatible systems provide a number of selfdiagnostics to help you determine the nature of any major
or minor flaws in your systems hardware. The following tables
will help you in diagnosing the visual and audible error messages you could receive from many PC systems when a
problem exists.
The first four audible indications listed in Tables F-1 through
F-5 are standard for IBM systems and most compatibles.
Following these are numerically coded audible indications
used in some newer non-IBM systems, shown as a pattern
of a number of beeps, with pauses between them.

Audible Indications
Indication
Possible Causes
None dead system
No power, bad CPU, bad clock oscillator
Keyboard lights flickered
If the keyboard lights flicker and then go out, but the

computer does not boot, check the CPU IC. If they always
flicker, turn off the unit, wait 30 seconds, then turn the unit
on again. There may have been a power-on sequence error
or power glitch at turn-on.
One short speaker beep
System board POST passed.
One long and two short

speaker beeps or two
short speaker beeps
Display error display type switch set incorrectly or bad

display adapter.
One long speaker beep
See onscreen message; refer to Table F-2.

Many vendors have adopted IBMs standard numerical error coding scheme for
onscreen error messages. Table F-4 is a compilation of XT, AT, PS/2, and later model
error messages. These messages may or may not be accompanied by audible indications (as described previously), or contain extra leading or trailing zeros. These
messages are fairly specific as to the area, board, or component of the system that
needs to be replaced.
