Intel DG41RQ "Read Error" with continuous low tone (short) beeps

idata · ‎12-17-2012

Hi,

I am using Intel DG41RQ motherboard with SATA Hard Disk. My PC behaves abnormally sometimes. When I am switching ON, some times it gives continuous low tone (short) beeps and also RED LED flashes. After that it won't continue any more. Keep on Beeping for some time, after that stays like that (It won't get shut down). Some times it display Read Error.

When Remove SATA Power cable and Data Cable, sometimes it starts normally.. and I was able to work properly...

But that problem again comes......

I am using 450W SMPS..... As of now I am using only one SATA HardDisk... I removed DVD drive... and also No Graphics card...

Can you please tell me how to solve this issue

Hello Amar,

You should check the beep codes for the meaning.

You can find them on the Technical Product Specification shown at the following web site:
