Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email: scrappy@hub.org Yahoo!: yscrappy ICQ: 7615664 __Since Beep codes differ from BIOS vendor to BIOS vendor, you'll have to look them up on the appropriate BIOS vendor's web site. Usually if you get a beep code from the BIOS, you won't boot at all; thus your beeps might be from another source, e.g. firmware on a net or raid card. Of course, then, you go to that vendor's web site. -gayn
