Hi guys,

So my cousin was asking me about problems about his PC so I checked it out and wasn't able to boot the OS. There was 1 long beep and 2 short beeps which I read indicated something about graphic error. So I tried a few things:

- Inserted his GPU into another PCIEx16 slot on the mobo, Still have beeps.
- Swapped his GPU with mine on his mobo. Still have beeps.
- Ran his GPU on my PC and it worked fine.

So could his mobo be the cause of the beeps? Fans were spinning but the OS won't boot.
This is his mobo - http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Big-Bang-Trinergy.html

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks much.

Different brands of boards don`t have the same bios beep codes to indicate the problem so it is important you know what bios is being used with the board.

Anyway here are the causes.

1.Bad video memory on the graphics card.

2. Memory or ram modules not fitted or inserted right in the slots, and not being read, or incorrect positioning of the ram modules in the slots provided.

3.In correct power to the graphics card, check the extra Pci-e power connectors are plugged in. and also the four or eight pin power connected to the motherboard located near the cpu socket in black.

4 The memory speed of the system ram, its voltage and timing settings. Take a stick out and check these, then check in the bios that they are correct.

Number three could be the problem if he has just built the system since you said your card exhibited the same result.
The four pin located next to the cpu socket.

I already tried swapping out the RAMs and test each card individually so we can rule that one out. It's a 3 year old build, he bought all the parts but the shop assembled it for him. Only recently the problem just suddenly occurs, so he said.

Hm maybe i should try using other 6-pin PCI-E power cables from the PSU?
