Error Codes

My computer will not boot when I try to turn on the pc I get nine (9) long beeps.  I replaced the memory but that did not work...I even left it unplugged for about 10min. any advice thanx.

Hello Usef, to properly diagnose your problem, I'll need more information from you. 

1. Bios type
2. Computer brand
3. Computer Model Number
4. Any recent changes you may have made

A quick google search yielded 9 long beeps as being a faulty ROM chip if you have an AMI bios.  Because there are so many different bios' there is no uniform beep code.  Hope this helps.

Best of luck,

Gary

Oops....Not sure of bios but:

Brand: HP Compaq

Model: DC 5700 small Form Factor

No recent changes.

It is Windows XP Pro.....But I changed the rom chip from a working PC

Here is a link to the manual for your computer.  It should be able to help you troubleshoot your issue.  According to the manual you have some sort of power issue and to check the voltage selection on the back of the power supply.  If that doesn't work, they recommend changing out the motherboard or the processor.  $$$$$  Did you change out the ROM chip before or after the problem started? 

I changed it out after, that what made me change it...I even put them in different slot to see but that didn't work so thanx Im check on that motherboard and power supply. I'll keep u posted.

I think you are talking about RAM.  The ROM chip is much different as it is not an easily removed part. 

Your right... LMAO!!!

Thanx alot it was the motherboard...im glad it was still under warranty.

Glad to hear that you have gotten it fixed and was still covered.  Thank you for the feedback.

Best of luck,

Gary
