Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P BIOS beep codes not documented, CPU problems
Hi,
Got a new GA-P35-DS3P that wouldn't boot. Got 3 beeps, pause, 8 beeps. Would reset then repeat the beep codes. Replaced power supply, video card, RAM (3 sets), nothing worked. Ultimately the cause was the CPU. Intel Celeron D 336 that I had put on to flash the BIOS with before I replaced the Celeron with a quadcore Core 2 G0 stepping. I had assumed the Celeron was old and compatible with anything. The Celeron D 336 works perfectly fine in an older Gigabyte P965-DS3 - and it is listed on the compatibility for both motherboards. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...rt_Model.aspx?... Hopefully this beep code will be of use to someone. The BIOS beep codes are very poorly documented on the Gigabyte website and owners manual. It does not even describe such a pattern of beep, pause, beep and only describes "long and short" beeps (all beeps were same length). Anyway, hope this helps someone.

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P BIOS beep codes not documented, CPU problems
Is there any help here for you? Mobo bios beep codes & bios diagnostics 'Bios Central' (http://www.bioscentral.com/) and 'BIOS Beep Codes' (http://www.amptron.com/html/bios.beepcodes.html) and another 'PC Hell: BIOS Error Beep Codes' (http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml#phoenix) The only suggestion I can think think of right now is disconnect everything except the CPU, RAM and graphic card... you will get POST or should we say bios boot with just these, also able to get into bios set up screen too if all was working well... this sure does cut a things out. If all was well at this stage you'd get a message something like "Please insert your operating disc" or "No disc found" but you aren't even getting to this stage where the bios hands control over to the CPU and the hard drive load's. So this leaves the mobo, CPU, RAM, video card and power supply unit. Davy |

It seems pretty easy to me to pick between a long beep and short beep. What would you describe the start up beep as? Having said that, I have had moments when there was a peripheral problem and my mobo, (of whatever flavour), gave no beeps at all. |

As posted in the original message, I already fixed the problem. It was only _one_ problem, CPU compatibility (despite being a listed compatible CPU, and the CPU was confirmed working in another model Gigabyte motherbaord). The beep codes are just not documented, period. They are nothing like the ones described in the manual, they are much more rich and complex. Stephen |
