Title: POST codes from Dell Dimension B110
Post by: yelnum on March 26, 2008, 01:00:24 pm

Hello,
I am trying to find out if there is a list of POST codes for the PC-doctor on using a Dell Dimension B110.
I've looked and can't seem to find any information regarding the beep codes or the hex codes given by the card... I'm getting the hex error: 09 and 1-2-2-1 beep code.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,

yelnum,

I got the following info off of BIOS Central at:
http://www.bioscentral.com/postcodes/phoenixbios.htm (http://www.bioscentral.com/postcodes/phoenixbios.htm)

From the beep codes it sounds like a Phoenix BIOS although I could be wrong.  Sometimes you have to go at these beep / BIOS codes sideways to get an answer.

Phoenix-based BIOS
Beep Code:
1-2-2-1 = Initialize timer initialization
Post code:
09 = Starting first-64K RAM test

Try reseating or swaping the positions of the RAM chips. It looks as the system is dying on the initial RAM test.
