when i turn it on the computer will beep 11 times.... the leds say everything is fine but all i get is a black screen nothing ever comes up, iv looked over and over and checked my power cords and connections does anyone know what 11 beeps mean?


i went to the manual both led_d1 and led_d2are solid.... but a few of the PH leds are not coming on i think 3rd and 4th the manuals says it means phase disabled but i dont know what the [bleep] that means? i tried used a older video card nothing i tried a different 4x4 16gig set nothing... nothing is working...

Hi. garrett29,Posted Image

Yes, I would try clear the CMOS, Then see if you can enter BIOS, set time and date, > restore defults, > save and exit.

If this fails, remove all RAM, accept from slot 1, retry.

The information below is from the BIOS Central AMI BIOS Beep Codes page.


error, 11 short beeps, Cache Memory error: Specifically, the L2 cache is bad.

took out l2 left slot 1 with ram will not enter bios stills gives me 11 beeps

11 flash program ever so i googled ami bios beep codes.... they say if u replace and remount the memory then its probably faulty hardware. im gonna go with that sense this is the second brand new set of ram i have tried

so i gotta call biostar today hope they replace


edit: i just shipped my mobo off for them to repair/replace it they approved the RMA... i could cry so excitied to start gaming on my new kick [bleep] system and i have to wait two weeks to get my mobo back. they want 100 bucks for overnight to cali from kansas horrible i just went with ground....

I think you did the right thing with a RMA, always a pain, especially with a major part.

Something that is always worth double checking is, the pattern and number of stand offs on the Mobo mounting plate, they must match exactly the screw holes in the Motherboard, no extra ones that could short out the circuit on the back of the board.

Would appreciate an update on the results when you do the rebuild.

Good luck.
