A7V333 continuous beep from system speaker,but system boots
Superrng
Asus V8420 Ti 4200GF4 Video Card
1 stick 512 DDR ram
1 3 1/2 floppy
Aluminum Case
Athlon 1800 XP +
I am just putting this together and haven't installed a hard drive or CD ROM
yet. I wanted to try booting to a floppy system disk when the machine was this
far.
I have a set of earphones connected to the rear audio out so I can hear the
Vocal Post Messages.
On power up the system emits a continuous high pitch note from the case
speaker.It's not short beeps , it is continuous. It will go through it's system
check and the Vocal Message says that it is now booting , and it completes
booting from the floppy to the A:/ prompt and seems to work fine to this point.
Yet the speaker continues to sound. This sound is only from the system speaker
not through the rear port via the earphones.
I have insulated the board from the metal standoffs, moved the RAM , removed
the RAM, removed the Vid card, floppy and the 1394 cable and still the speaker
sounds. The Vocal message will tell me I have a RAM failure if I remove it.
I have checked my jumpers and downloaded the online manual and have the jumpers
set to default according to it. The BIOS shows a CPU temp of 50 C and normal
voltages.
I am baffled any ideas ?
TIA

Did you check the polarity of the speaker connector?

get a post voice message saying cpu not onstalled try another monitor or
unplug the AC power cord and the monitor cable from the VGA card
- press power button
- re-connect the power cord and
monitor cable to VGA card
- press power button to check if
there is still "no CPU installed" warning
give this a try . maybe it works....

Just a thought

> Polarity of the speaker ??? You idiot
If you never heard about it try this for understanding the concept of
speaker polarity:

Why being so offensive, Paul? It's more likely leakage voltage to cause this
problem,
but I don't see a single reason for your reaction.

I would rule out speaker polarity is. This board has a verbal post chip. The
voice can be configured to come out of the case speaker or the rear audio
connector. If I configure the board to play the voice from the case speaker,
the only way I can hear the voice is by connecting the speaker wires so that it
makes the continuous beep. If I switch the speaker connector, I get total
silence.So I would think the polarity is correct when I can hear the voice. I
am concerned of something like a short that may cause permanent damage later on
or I would just disconnect the speaker all together.
thanks again

of an old case and it works ???? The new case speaker, one of those black
clyinders about 1/2 inch in diameter must have an internal short. I am using a
conventional cone type speaker and it beeps once after the startup test and
then shuts up.
