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.
I've reseated the memory & video card. Tried it with Sandra, Hot CPU Test Lite (6 hour test/burn-in/"defect-detect"), PCPitstop-- all say there's nothing wrong. What is going on here? It's disturbing because I can't find this code & worry about my data either being corrupted at some point or the whole deal possibly going down- what is this code???
Hope someone here from PCBuilders can help- or another person who's been through this?
Thank you for your time & interest,
Lynn Tracy
