An error beep code is a distinct pattern of beeps that identifies the error, such as one long beep and two short beeps. If there are no errors, the computer beeps once before it loads the operating system. The table below describes the error beep code. Error Beep Code No. of Beeps 1 long, 2 short Description BIOS cannot initialize the video display; the computer is 1 unable to display additional information.
