Sering kali komputer terjadi permasalahan yang terkadang kita sendiri tidak tahu apa permasalahan tersebut, sebenarnya BIOS telah memeberitahukan tentang permasalahan yang terjadi pada komputer ketika komputer sedang bermasalah, nah untuk mengetahuinya anda dapat mempelajari dengan mengenal bunyi pada saat komputer terjadi permasalahan atau yang dikenal sebagai beep code, untuk mempelajari jenis-jenis beepcode anda tidak dapat mempelajarinya pada satu sumber saja, tetapi anda bisa mencoba mempelajari beepcode dari beberapa sumber Manufaktur BIOS seperti, IBM Bios, AMI Bios, Award & Phonix
IBM BIOS
- Beep 1x pendek : Normal POST - no error
- Beep 2x pendek : POST error - see screen for error code
- Tanpa Beep : Power missing, loose card or short circuit
- Beep Berulang-ulang : Power missing, loose card or short circuit
- Beep Pendek Berulang-ulang : Power missing, loose card or short circuit
- Beep 1x panjang & Beep 1x pendek : System board error
- Beep 1x panjang & Beep 2x pendek : Video (mono/CGA display adapter)
- Beep 1x panjang & Beep 3x pendek : Video (EGA display adapter)
- Beep 3x pendek : Keyboard error
- Beep1x,Tampilan Monitor Blank :Video display circuitry
