When Booting, The Cpu Reports No Rom Basic; When Booting, The System Gives Eight Beeps; When Booting The System, You Hear Two Beeps; The System Runs Very Slowly - Kontron ETXexpress-WPM User Manual

When booting, the CPU reports No ROM BASIC

a) The system cannot find a proper bootable sector on either drive A or C. You
need to install an operating system on the hard drive or insert a bootable
diskette in the A drive.

When booting, the system gives eight beeps

a) These beeps indicate a video adapter problem. Try the video card in a
different slot.
b) Try a different video card.
c) If the problem persists, clear CMOS and re-flash the BIOS as described in the
motherboard user's manual.

When booting the system, you hear two beeps

a) Two beeps signify a memory error. Re-seat the DIMMs into the DIMM sockets
and reboot.
b) If the problem persists, swap DIMMs from one memory bank to the other. If
the problem goes away after the swap, then switch the memory back to the
original installation and see if the original error occurs.
c) If the problem continues to persist, replace the modules with your spare
memory modules.
d) If the problem still persists after installing new memory, then the ATX
motherboard may have faulty DIMM sockets and may need to be returned for
repair.

The system runs very slowly

The system will run significantly slower if the cache memory has been disabled in the
Advanced Setup in CMOS. (Cache memory is automatically disabled when you choose
the Fail-Safe option in CMOS setup.)
