I am now leaving it on for more than 24 hours to recharge the battery, but I am still looking ahead on what to do to prevent another failure in case I go for a holiday again.</p> <p>Thanks so much</p> <p>Regards<br /> Chol </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/power-on-selftest-post-double-beef-sound-error-help-help-help#post-97626 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:34:11 +0000 raphoenix 97626@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Chol,<br /> ---<br /> DO NOT BUY ANY BIOS UPDATES !!!!<br /> ---<br /> If your machine has a Bios Update, it will be posted under the Driver Download Section Page for Your Machine Model.<br /> ---<br /> Sometimes, there are NO Bios Updates for Pre-built desktop and laptop machines.<br /> ---<br /> Regards,<br /> Rick P. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/power-on-selftest-post-double-beef-sound-error-help-help-help#post-97625 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:16:28 +0000 Chol 97625@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>OK, Do you know this website? is it a trust website for buying?

After that screen, it took me to another black screen that had shown me details about my PC BIOS. </p> <p>The following texts written in red where displayed on that screen:</p> <p>Phoenix – AwardBIOS v6-00pg, an Energy star Ally<br /> Copyright (c) 1984-2007, phoenix technologies, LTD</p> <p>This BIOS is exclusively for ACER only (Ro1-A3)<br /> Anyway I have to give you what I have got on the screen to let you find out the main cause.</p> <p>Main processor: AMD Athlon (tm) 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 4000+<br /> Memory testing: 1835008k OK +256m shared memory</p> <p>IDE Channel 0 master = NONE<br /> IDE channel 0 slave = NONE</p> <p>IDE Channel 2 master = ST3160815AS 3.AAE<br /> IDE Channel 2 slave = NONE<br /> IDE Channel 3 Master = Optiarc DVD RW AD-7170S 1-01<br /> IDE Channel 3 Slave = NONE</p> <p>CMOS checksum – defaults loaded</p> <p>If you know something need to be setup on the above in order taking me into wrong wizard and stop double beef sound, please help</p> <p>At the bottom here</p> <p>•Press F1 to continue, DEL to enter setup<br /> •10/10/07-RS690-SB600-64669FK8C-00</p> <p>At the first time, I press “F1” to continue, I got an error warning message which asked me to reinstall something, but I don’t noe which one. This warning message has not come back for second time when I want it.</p> <p>When I log on, I still get that screen although it now working normal (OK) like it wasn’t before.<br /> I am stills getting double beef sound and that sound meant according to this article or power on self test. There is something wrong with MEMORY, but I am still can’t find the way to fix it. <a href="http://www.poweronselftest.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.poweronselftest.com/</a></p> <p>your experiences would be appreciate</p> <p>Thanks </p>
