Would anyone out there happen to know if there is a sight
around that goes into detail on the alert beeps that you
here when the computer is starting up.

I'm basically trying to find out the description of the
beeps as they refer to the errors that are detected during
bootup. If there's a sight that gives that info I would
definitely appreciate a point in the right direction.

THANX N ADVANCE Wayne B.

"Beep Codes" are motherboard-specific. You should be able to find
the information you seek in both the PC's and motherboard's manuals,
as well as on the support web site of the motherboard manufacturer.
