Computer Start Up Error, Please Help
Seems like since I followed TimmyC's registry tweak for my geforce, anytime I turn off my computer now, and start it back up, I get One long beep, and 3 or 4 short beeps (Abit BE6 mb, Geforce 2 mx prophet video card).
Seems like since I followed TimmyC's registry tweak for my geforce, anytime I turn off my computer now, and start it back up, I get One long beep, and 3 or 4 short beeps (Abit BE6 mb, Geforce 2 mx prophet video card). No idea why. Both manuals dont have any info on this. I am wondering, if disabling any of these is causing the problem, because I disabled these in the bios:
Video BIOS cacheable
Video BIOS shadow
VGA Palette Snoop
PCI Palette Snoop
C8xxxx-CBxxxx Shadow
Any ideas? I have a 300 W power supply, and if i RESTART the computer, this doesn't happen. But i turn off my computer at night, and in the morning, i experience this. I have a Sony E400 monitor, and it says Monitor is in Power Save mode when I start up, and after I hear the beeps =(

Set them back the way they were, and then change them one at a time. However, those changes will probably not give you much of a performance change anyway. Now, as far as why you don't hear the beeping at restart; this is because on a warm boot (restart) your system skips parts of the POST (Power On Self Test) process, and thus isn't having issues with these settings. One (or more) of those changes is/are upsetting the video card and/or motherboard. I would just set them back the way they were and not worry about it.

What is the possibility if I dont see a display when booting up the computer, that hitting delete will get me into the bios?
Also, any idea which one of those options I disabled coudl be causing the problem? I will reset them all back to enabled, but wondering if you ever experienced / or seen this before.
