BEEP. For the initial system test. As normal.
Second BEEP a few seconds later, for not having a PS/2 keyboard. Is there anything I can do to stop this second beep, its really annoying, and is known to be a problem with my keyboard (Logitech G110 Gaming Keyboard)
Thanks.
-
If your keyboard is USB, then it should be possible to override the keyboard check in the BIOS settings.
-
How do you know sure, that second beep is because of not having PS/2 keyboard? My other PC, I have turned on without keyboard, no beep...
-
Your PC beeps as a standard check?
How old is it? :o
-
Go into the BIOS and set 'stop on error' from 'All' (or whatever it is set to) to 'All but keyboard' or similarly worded.
-
Still can't find nothing in BIOS :S
In POST messages, it displays PS2 keyboard not found, and if I actually plug one in, then it only beeps once (as normal)
And yes, the PC itself is ancient.
-
So, your keyboard is USB, but computer says, that you don't have PS2 keyboard...There should be a BIOS setting for this. Can you look around in BIOS with your USB keyboard?
Can you actually use your computer?

Keyboard works fine in BIOS, and it is what I'm typing with right now
-
If these is no Option for it - Take the buzzer out.

You might need a new keyboard.

One good suggestion which might work brightly.

lmao
As brilliant an idea this sounds, I believe it isn't a buzzer, it vibrates the coil somewhere on the motherboard I think :3

This. Or ignore the BEEEP. I have 4 Beeps when turning my PC on,and when I can't hear it,I think that my PC is broken.

I would prefer this

But I am not sure about special buttons on keyboard, if these will keep working. You could try, these things don't cost much(from my knowledge).
EDIT: Purple ones are for keyboard, green for mouse, although not sure, if it matters in the meaning of functions.
-
Lol at the buzzer suggestion!
Don't really want to buy a new keyboard, 70(pounds) was a bit too much anyway.
Can't use PS2 thing because this has its own sound card (curious feature!) and has media controls, volume wheel, macros and lights as well as a USB port on the back, so USB is the only option

That's what I thought also, those functions etc. Media controls should work over PS2, but macros and lights not.
Then you just have to look around more in BIOS or just ignore the beep.
My other computer's keyboard also has "sound card", actually just helps getting sound from PC closer.

You mean it actually has a sound chipset that works as a sound card or is it just a cable extension?

Videos to demonstrate problem:

BIOS/Startup/Device Manager (ignore the start Windows safely, it never usually does that)

Just cable extension, no sound card.
