Asus EEE pink & Windows XP

Снощи се сблъсках за 1st time с Asus EEE. Наложи се да му слагаме ХР и се оказа че не е толкова проста задача. С помоща на UnLimited и направената от него флаш памет с инсталация на уиндоус, успяхме да се справим. Няма да изпадам в подробности как протича инсталацията но ако го правиш за първи път наистина ще се сблъскате с куп глупави проблеми. Ако пропуснем тази част то мога да кажа само че тези ЕЕЕ-та къртят гардероби отвсякъде. Бозата върви без да се замисля и то като се има в предвит че процесора на този мъник е “downclock”-нат на 600MHz, а той реално и фабрично е на 900. Някъде мернах че имало бета версия на биоса за ЕЕЕ и че в нея била добавена възможност да буташ FSB-то от него. Общо взето като пропуснем момента със 7″-овия монитор висчко останало е перфектно. Доволен съм от ЕЕЕ.

Биос “beep” кодове

AMI (American Megatrends International) BIOS Beep Codes.
AMI BIOS uses beeps of the same length and pitch. The error is displayed as a number of beeps. For example, 4 beeps indicated a timer failure.
BEEP CODE MEANING POSSIBLE CAUSE
1 Beep (No video) Memory refresh failure Bad memory
2 Beeps Memory parity error Bad memory
3 Beeps Base 64K mem failure Bad memory
4 Beeps Timer not operational Bad motherboard
5 Beeps Processor error Bad processor
6 Beeps 8042 Gate A20 failure Bad CPU or Motherboard
7 Beeps Processor exception Bad processor
8 Beeps Video memory error Bad video card or memory
9 Beeps ROM checksum error Bad BIOS
10 Beeps CMOS checksum error Bad motherboard
11 Beeps Cache memory bad Bad CPU or motherboard

Award BIOS Beep Codes
Award BIOS uses beeps of varying duration. A long beep will typically last for 2 seconds while a short beep will last only 1 second. Award BIOS also uses beeps of different frequency to indicate critical errors. If an Award BIOS detects that the CPU is overheating it may play a high pitched repeating beep while the computer is running.
BEEP CODE MEANING POSSIBLE CAUSE
1 Long, 2 Short Video adapter failure Bad video adapter
Repeating (Endless loop) Memory error Bad memory or bad connection
1 Long, 3 Short Video adapter failure Bad video adapter or memory
High freq. beeps (while running) CPU is overheating CPU fan failure
Repeating High, Low beeps CPU failure Bad processor

Phoenix BIOS Beep Codes
Phoenix BIOS uses beep code patterns to indicate problems. In the table below the ‘-‘ indicates a brief pause between beeps.

Вижте какво е писал този който е правил тест на устройството:
“If you have ever seen the I-mate Kjam, you will notice that this keyboard has square keys and the Kjam has round buttons. These keys are much better for a fat fingered geek like myself. Take a look at the two rectangular buttons above the QWERTY keys, these two buttons mirror the operation of the soft keys that also appear lined up with the options they control on the front.”

Или с прости думи – “Клавиатурата е направена за дебели пръстчета като моите.” точка.
