Beep Code Post Code Description What to Check (Recommended)
1-1-1-3 02h Verify Real Mode. • Check the processor.
• Check the main board.
1-1-2-1 04h Get CPU type. • Check the processor.
• Check the main board.
1-1-2-3 06h Initialize system
hardware.
• Check the main board.
1-1-3-1 08h Initialize cache to initial
POST values.
• Check the main board.
1-1-3-2 09h Set in POST flag. • Check the main board.
1-1-3-3 0Ah Initialize CPU registers. • Check the processor.
• Check the main board.
1-1-4-1 0Ch Initialize cache to initial
POST values.
• Check the secondary cache.
• Check the processor.
• Check the main board.
1-1-4-3 0Eh Initialize I/O. • Make sure all the cards are securely
inserted into the system.
• Make sure that there are no physical
problems with the main board or
internal connections.
• Disable all shadowing of expansion
adapter ROMs and see if that fixes
the problem.
• Remove all unnecessary expansion
cards (basically, everything but the
video card) and see if the problem
goes away. If it does, the problem is
probably one of the expansion cards
you removed. If not, your problem
lies elsewhere. Try to isolate the
problem by inserting one expansion
card at a time back into the system
and seeing which on e triggers the
problem.
