Lynn-

What I can tell you is that your board is likely a SE440BX-2, and there
is a manual on intel's web site.  The page on error codes states that in
some cases one long beep followed by a series of short beeps is actually
from an external ROM bios.  There is a list of other codes on that page,
I did not see the one you mentioned listed.

A link!

Hi all,

Hope someone here knows what this is....

I've been scouring the 'net but come up empty-handed.

It's:

1 - long, followed by 3 short, beeps. I still get the regular, single
POST beep just before my splash screen starts.

I even listened over & over to be sure it wasn't 1-2-1..... it's
definitely 1 long, 3 short.

It's the Dell Dim. XPS-T 450. I now have a Powerleap Celeron 1.3Ghz in
it as well as a Promise controller for my 100GB HD. Have a DVD &
CD-burner, too. Original Voodoo3 (I have a Geforce 3 to go in but don't
want to add to the stew).  Board is Intel (440BX), BIOS is Phoenix
4.0-6.  I'm flashed to the last BIOS available from Dell, A11.
