BIOS "POST" Beep Codes for AMI and Phoenix BIOS
Vista Die-Hard
Vista Guru
When an IBM compatible computer is first turned on, the hardware runs a Power-On Self Test (POST). If errors are encountered during this POST test, they are usually displayed via an audio beep or in the form of a code number flashed across the screen. With this audio code in hand, you can determine what part of the system is having problems and find a solution. The pattern of beeps whether its the number of beeps or the length of those beeps will give you an indication of the actual problem. Its a distress signal from the computer in a morse code like pattern. Unless you have a diagnostic card to tell you more about the particular problem, you will have to use the charts below to decipher the computer error and get your machine back up and running.

Some of the advanced motherboards also have a two digit led display that will tell you how far the bios has gotten. The IP35 pro is one such board.

Most modern boards do now, my XFX 750i does, and my friend's ASUS P6T6 does, too. Although I'm skeptical about some. When I built it for him, it wouldn't boot and the error code that the LED (error code 88) wasn't defined in the manual or anywhere on the Internet

Some of the boards just tell you how far they have got. I wonder if that is the reason.
