Title: 6 long beeps - H77M-D3H
Post by: drb01 on March 25, 2014, 12:53:18 pm

What does 6 long beeps mean immediately after power up?

I have only CPU (i3-2100), CPU fan, and 1 or 2 DIMMs installed.

I have tried all combinations of 1 and 2 DIMMs in different channels and still get 6 long beeps.

With no DIMM then I get rapid continuous beeps. Have looked online to find nothing conclusive as to what all this means.

Help MUCH appreciated!!

Thanks very much. Gigabyte says it uses "AMI EFI BIOS", but the list doesn't have "6 long beeps" or "continuous short beeps". I have also been to AMI's website which doesn't help a lot ... Have looked around the forums and can't fina anything. Gigabyte tech support doesn't get back to me...

Thanks very much. That would suggest it is the motherboard as I don't have anything in the expansion slots. But it doesn't list "continuous short beeps" when there is no RAM installed, which makes me think that maybe Gigabyte have customised the BIOS..

Hi
Check the memory thoroughly. Use Memtest86  and run it on each module in turn for about 10 loops. Takes a while but I think that is most likely.

Well it did turn out to be the mobo. Replaced that and everything is working nicely now! Thanks very much for your help ...
