I was messin around in the BIOS and then i saved and restarted. When i restarted the computer would not boot instaed it would just beep constantly

any ideas why this happened and how i can fix it

im runnin and Asus A7N8X-X motherboard wit an Athlon XP 2600+

any information would be helpfull!!!

aight i got it
i figured out how to clear the CMOS so im back up haha

my pc doing the same as yours was,i clear cmos and it still jus beeps,never attemps to load

Those beeps are the bios telling you that something is so wrong that the computer won't boot. See if you can find your motherboard documentation and it should tell you what the different number of beeps mean. From there, you can try to fix what is wrong...

Hello Bayoulord514,

I cannot recall the exact options in the bios because it is not something I'd like to do everyday BUT... I THINK what "clearing the CMOS" means is that there's always an option in the BIOS to reset everything to the FailSafe settings or something to that effect. Try that, you have nothing to lose... and good luck!

used pc,its a compaq presario 5461,beeps too short beeps,it was working last night,my son wanted more ram so he pulled out the one that was in the motherboard,went an bought another,no its doing this

i let it just stay on,it beeps two beeps quickly,does this three times total

Do you have the old stick of memory? If you take the new one out and put the old one in does your computer boot?

no,i tried the old ram and the new one,still no boot,,they do go in order of sd1,sd2,sd3 or is there a certain way they need to be otherwise?

Yes, if you put just 1 stick of the old memory in sd1 do you still get the beeps? You don't happen to have any documentation for your mother board do you? It may be telling you something else, but we would need the docs to see.
