A beep code is the audio signal from a computer when it first powers on to give the Power-On Self-
Test (POST) result. Typically, one short beep means that it passed the test successfully or a series of
beeps means that something is wrong with the computer hardware.
When a computer powers on, the motherboard BIOS or UEFI performs a short test called
POST.
The POST determines if the hardware is complete and healthy enough to begin running more
complicated code on the CPU and start showing an output on the screen.
If it passes the test, the computer will usually emit one short beep and continue with the
remainder of the boot sequence.
o Sometimes if the computer passes the vital tests but fails a minor one, such as having
no keyboard or a missing case fan, the computer will emit a long beep and display an
error but allow the boot to continue.
o If the computer fails a major part of the POST, it may not be able to output a video
signal to the screen. To alert the user and to indicate where it detected the problem, it
will emit a patterned series of beeps.
Most computers will use a series consisting of short and long beeps with a long pause to
indicate the end of the sequence.
Sometimes the front power LED will flash in the same pattern. The location of the hardware
fault can be determined by counting the beeps.

Why We Know That This Motherboard Is Correct On This Condition That Computer
Is No Display?
Answer :
if ram is not working then we can change it and check that display if display not comes then
we can say that it has problem with motherboard first check in smps he will work right then
check ram, ram is out in side slot then ruff the earesar ram is work in ok then check is cmos
battery then last check is power cable and vga cable he will work ok then replace the
motherboard.
To clear the CMOS password you just remove the CMOS Battery or else you can also use a
jumper settings.
