Beep Counts

By Ajay Kumar
We observe generally that every time when our system restart's or when turn it on, can makes BEEP sound. Some times there will be a lot of variations in the frequency of beep sound. When you observe carefully the number of beeps you hear will vary. There will be a "Single","Continuous" or "No" beep sound's occur.


These "Beep" sounds indicates the healthy condition of our PC. BIOS manufacturers use these sounds in order to identify the condition of the system.
 
There are different BIOS manufacturers among them the most used BIOS "Award-BIOS" makes a "Single Beep" on system startup.

If for any errors in Hardware you wont get any display message, for example improper placement of RAM or error in Display Card you may get a beep sound with varying frequencies such as one single beep followed by two short beeps.

The continuous sound of short length frequency can occur where your RAM is damaged.
If there is no beep and no display then there is a problem in Mother Board.

AMI-BIOS works in a different Manner where there is a detail information lies with the beep count as follows..

  • One Beep : Memory refresh error, Improper placement of memory modules.
  • Two Beep's : Memory parity error.
  • Three Beep's : Same as for two.
  • Four Beep's : Fault in "Timer Chips",Problem in Mother Board.
  • Five Beep's : CPU error,Remove the Processor and replace by cleaning the contacts.
  • Six Beep's : Problem in Address circuit A20.
  • Seven Beep's : Unidentified Error.
  • Eight Beep's : Defect in Graphic Card Memory.
  • Nine Beep's : ROM checksum is not correct,Install the updated BIOS.
  • Ten Beep's : CMOS is defective, select BIOS setup and re save data with save and exit.
  • Eleven Beep's : Defective cache memory,check the memory module whether it is placed correctly.
NOTE : If there is any loose contacts or burnt occur due to power, it is better to change Mother Board.

REF : The Basic Information is taken from the article published on "1998" in CHIP Magazine.

Constant remembrance of God, and how to achieve it?

By
Constant rememb rance ( Smarana, dhyana, or abhyasa of God ) is not 'thinking of God every second', which is impossible for the restless mind, but cultivating a deep, natural undercurrent of awareness of God's presence in the heart, which flows alongside all duties.  It is not just when you sit in meditation, but also while living, working, and interacting with others.  This is not merely the mechanical repetition of God's name, but an inner state of feeling connected to Him. Smarana  is often described as an unbroken stream of thought directed towards the Divine, leading t  a constant state of awareness. The  Puranas  also present examples, such as the  liberation of Kamsa a o nd Shishupala , who constantly thought of Krishna out of animosity, to demonstrate that continuous mental focus on the Supreme Lord can lead to liberation, even in unusual contexts.   Dhyana  in Sanskrit comes from the root "dhyai"-to think, to contemplate. It is a de...

Offering Heart(Hrudaya Kamalam) to God.

By
Man worships God, who gave him human birth in many ways. During the worship, he offers leaves, flowers, fruits or water to the extent of his ability.  It may be that offering this way is a sign of gratitude, but is a human being really capable of offering to God? If we think about it this way, we can say that it is not so perfect. God is the one who created the entire Universe. The gifts that a devotee gives to God are tiny. But if he does not offer something, the devotee's mind will not be satisfied. Once upon a time, a Yogi prepared to worship God. Then wisdom dawned within him. Performing each and every act of worship, he addressed the Lord thus... "O God Almighty, You are the Universe itself. So how can you be invoked? Where should you place your seat when you are the support of all creation? Why do you need water to wash your feet, since you are ever pure?  Why speak of a cure when you are Holiness itself? How shall you be bathed, who are eternally pure? What garment shal...

Who is Sadguru?

By
Image
Generally, everyone knows about Teacher/Lecturer, who educates the pupils. He teaches the knowledge of the subjects like English, Hindi, Science, Social, Maths, etc., But it is far away from the knowledge of spirituality and to know about God. He teaches about the activities in this realistic world, viz., the style of living and how to behave in the society. He teaches us how to make ourselves a perfect human being to live in society.  Whereas Guru gives us Gyan (knowledge) about God, and about spirituality. He teaches us the process to attain God or Almighty by his divine speeches or advice. Guru teaches us not only how to live life in this world but also life after death. A person who has a healthy body, wealth, fame, good family and abundant knowledge of Scriptures, epics, Vedas and Upanishads and he himself a great writer of scriptures but he has not surrendered himself at the feet of a Guru, then he has achieved nothing.  Sri Ramchandra Maharaj, founder ...

Sahaj Marg is the Natural and Simplest path of Realization

By

Sahaj Marg is the Natural path of Realization. This is the system followed in the Rama Chandra Mission, Shahjahanpur (UP) India , a mission founded by Mahatma Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj . On the occasion of Birth Centenary celebrations of Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj held on 9 th and 10 th February 2000 at Cuddapah centre, the Abhyasi Shri T.V. Srinivasa Rao , Advocate, has elucidated to us, the following, “ Sahaj Marg in a nut shell ” in the words of Shri Rama Chandraji. The Mission : Great men are not accidentally born. They are born when the world needs them most. Such is the usual course of Nature. The present life or gross materialism has led the world to the very verge of decay and ruin. Degradation has almost reached the final stage. Morality is tottering hopelessly. Irreligiousness is gaining ground in almost every mind. Selfishness, prejudice and vanity have become the prominent features of the day. Ungodliness is rampant everywhere. Clouds of ignorance and sin...

Varna and Caste System

By
Image
Varna is the nature of an individual based on gunas(Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas) and activities in  which one is interested in a particular kind of job or occupation to earn a living, and Caste means a lineage of an individual about which job or profession his/her very early ancestors used or made to do as a family profession. The whole varna was made keeping in view the dharma that one had to follow.  Varna was never considered by birth if we go through the following instances of our great literature. In Srimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter IV Verse 13, Lord Krishna clearly states that the four Varnas are based on their work and their basic nature and not related to birth at all. "chātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛiṣhṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśhaḥ  tasya kartāram api māṁ viddhyakartāram avyayam" The four varnas have been created by Me through a classification of the gunas and activities. Even though I am the creator of this system, still know Me to be the non-doer and eternal. Lord...

Hard reset and Windows Device Recovery Tool options for Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 8.1

By
Image
Coming from the stable of the famous Microsoft, Windows 10 has already taken the path of success but its avatar on mobiles is yet to make a debut. However Microsoft in its innovative effort has provided a great option to its fans to test the preview builds for Windows 10 since the beginning of 2015. However it is always better to know the options for 'hard reset' and through use of the software for solving any problems as the new Smartphones due to their sleek design have very less buttons (hardware buttons). At first the preview builds were very buggy but ever since the build 10536 was released, the Windows 10 mobile technical preview builds have acquired more stability. If you use the Windows phones with Windows 10 builds now, you don't feel anymore that you are actually using a preview build. That has been the improvement and we must appreciate Microsoft as well as those scores of insiders who have actually helped Microsoft achieve this as they provide valuable...

WiFi WLAN WPA2 Enterprise settings for Nokia, Blackberry, Android and Apple devices

By
Many companies are increasingly providing WiFi networks in their offices due to the flexibility the wireless network brings to the workplace and also due to the advancement in the mobile computing environment. Nowadays almost all the new computers, notably laptops, palmtops, tablets and smartphones all have WiFi LAN connectivity and compatibility in them. Nowadays it is a reality and it is easy to imagine a group of professionals sitting in a meeting room with all their notebooks, laptops, or Smartphones seamlessly connected, rather than tangling with LAN cables and sharing a cable for checking a shared document from the internal network drives. Coming to the point, now you may have your device but you might not be sure or even annoyed about how to use this option on your device, because every device is different in terms of version of a model, or the OS it is running, or the ecosystem it depends on, like Apple iOS and apps, Google’s Android, Windows 8, Blackberry OS, and so...

Tapatraya (3 Cravings) of Humans and the suitable methods to suffice them

By
Tapatraya in Sanskrit, means 'The 3 Cravings (Anxieties)' of the Human Life. Trying for a thing or for a purpose with undue longing and anxiety is generally called as Tapatraya (Craving). This is the common man’s view. But spiritually this has got a different meaning, a meaning in true sense. These three kinds of cravings termed as Tapatraya are  - 1. Aadhi Bhouthika (Physical) , 2. Aadhi Dyvika (Mental) , and 3. Adhyatmika (Spiritual). The explanation of these three may differ from one school of thought to the other. But let us think according to our view.
