6 beeps or 2 and 4 beeps?
Hello, I have an Ice Breaker arcade game that has a dell computer as the controlling unit and it is making several beeps when it goes on, the problem is I cannot tell if it is 6 beeps or 2 and then 4 beeps as there seems to be a short pause between the 2nd and 3rd beeps. Either way the monitors will not com on and there is no way to get the CPU out of the cabinet right now. If it is a video bios issue or a ram issue I need to figure that out as one suggests the machine is going back to the factory and the other means I am going to add new ram. So my question is does the beep codes give multiple codes or just one. Thanks for the help with what I am sure is a stupid question.

Hi Quilliard,
Perhaps you could provide the model of your Dell.

That's an easy fix, fortunately.

Six beeps for more recent models is a video card failure. Older PCs have a series of three sets of beeps, not two.
