Phonex BIOS Beeps on a Fujitsu Esprimo

[speckytecky]

Got a Fujitsu Esprimo E3500 with Phoneix BIOS fails to boot with the following beeps:

 

4-2-3-3 Looking at Beep Codes it only gives sets of 3 beeps? How come mine is giving a sequence of 4?

 

Whatever - suspect it's a motherboard any suggestions for suppliers please?

It's worth looking for Award BIOS beep codes since Award is owned by Phoenix, and AFAIK most newer Phoenix BIOSes use code based on the Award BIOS firmware.

 

Also, I think those Phoenix codes are a bit old.

 

EDIT: This site gives beep codes in a sequence of 4 - http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/phoenixbeep.htm

 

EDIT2: 4-2-3-3 is Extended Block Move which one website suggests a conflict between a PCI-E Graphics card and Onboard Graphics.

added another beep code site + reason for beeps

Just check that keyboard / mouse are working - have had fujitsu machines fail with beep codes before due to this.
