What This Blog Is About

Welcome! I'm not a tech guru, and I cannot guarantee that the information on this blog provides complete solutions to your tech problems. I just chose to create this blog so I can take note of the things I have learned through self-study during my struggle to break into the IT field.

I am one of those people with an IT education who did not end up following the career path of an IT professional after college. But after six years as an IT recruiter, I am finally trying to make a career shift. The problem is I do not know where to start. I barely remember all the things I learned in college. After six years of not putting my IT knowledge to work, I find that I need to re-learn some things. I have been reading IT technician textbooks and Network technician textbooks, and even got an A+ certification, but I find that it is hard to retain the information I learn without being able to put it into practice.

So this blog serves the purpose of helping me note down the things I learn and writing about my experience in trying to successfully break into and make it in the IT field.

POST Beep Codes



If your computer successfully finishes its POST (Power-On Self Test), it will produce a single beep. If you hear more than one beep, you should check the following:

2 or 3 beeps - Check the memory modules (RAM). Check if these are properly seated in their slots

4, 5, 7, or 10 beeps - Check and troubleshoot the motherboard.

6 beeps - Check the keyboard or the system's keyboard controller.

8 beeps - Check the video adapter and its memory.

9 beeps - Check the BIOS. It might be faulty or you might need to flash the BIOS with an updated version.
