Beep Codes Viewer – Quickly Look Up What Beep Codes Mean

Beep Codes Viewer is a small, portable, freeware application designed to give you a quick place to look up what beep codes mean. As we know, the POST runs when the computer boots up to check that the computer meets minimum system requirements and that all hardware is working properly. When the test completes it will make a single beep or two beeps depending on motherboard manufacturer to indicate all is well and continue to boot. If the test fails it will emit no beep or a series of beeps as a beep code. This tool offers a quick directory to look up that code, with different codes by motherboard manufacturer, and see what the problem is.

Beep Codes Viewer is a small file that you don’t have to install, therefore it is quite portable on a flash drive.

Nice to have beep codes organized and easy to lookup like this, but do we really need a portable app? Heck, couldn’t this just be a text file?

Ah the post codes. I remember them well.
We used ISA and PCI Post Code cards similar to the DC-0021 on this page: http://www.winter-con.com/productlist.html

I still have my old ISA card I called “Big Blue” for obvious reasons.

Good times….

I tried to run BeepCodes.exe and Comodo BOClean detected a Trojan Horse. BKDR-BIFROSE.EV

Yes, I know BOClean is no longer supported, but I use it among many other apps and has still helped me. So is this a false positive? Is the author using AutoIT? I know AutoIT will show up as malware on BOClean.

Nice that this is portable, would be even better if it were an iPhone app.

Rizone has some other really useful tools on their site. The power tools looks especially interesting… maybe a replacement for dial-a-fix?

Nice software. But what will you do if pc is dead (no power, or no beep)? What diagnostic tools (hardware) you are using in this case? Please give an advise.
