Win ME
Yours is, most likely an AMI Bios, as it is the only one that has a beep
code of 5 beeps. The beep codes will vary with a different Bios. Five beeps usually indicates a process failure. Try reseating the memory and rebooting. If that doesn't help, you should consider another motherboard. You could probably get away with just replacing the CPU, but that may or may not be cost-effective.

From looking at articles I've found on the net it looks like the cpu and or the board are the cause of the problem. thank you again and have a good day. |
