Power supply may be bad Long continuous beep tone Memory failure Steady, long beeps Power supply bad No beep Power supply bad, system not plugged in, or power not turned on No beep If everything seems to be functioning correctly there may be a problem with the 'beeper' itself. The system will normally beep one short beep. One long, two short beeps
Faulty Hardware Components: Any malfunctioning hardware component, such as a faulty motherboard, power supply unit (PSU) or peripheral device (e.g., mouse, keyboard), can cause slow performance or ...
Inadequate or failing power supply. Cooling problems are usually obvious upon inspection. A failing motherboard or processor can be identified by swapping them with functioning parts. Memory can be checked by booting to a diagnostic tool, like memtest86. Non-essential failing I/O devices and controllers can be identified by unplugging them if ...
One of the issues with using an RC network to generate a PoR pulse is the sensitivity of the R and C values to the power-supply ramp characteristics. When the power supply ramp is rapid, the R and C values can be calculated so that the time to reach the switching threshold of the Schmitt trigger is enough to apply a long enough reset pulse.
Microsoft stated that the peripheral drains too much power from the console (the Intercooler power cord is installed between the Xbox 360 power supply and the console itself) and can cause faults to occur, and stated that consoles fitted with the peripheral will have their warranties null and void.
The ATX specification defines the Power-Good signal as a +5-volt (V) signal generated in the power supply when it has passed its internal self-tests and the outputs have stabilized. This normally takes between 0.1 and 0.5 seconds after the power supply is switched on.
Unattended machinery performs self-tests to discover whether it needs maintenance or repair. Typical tests are for temperature, humidity, bad communications, burglars, or a bad power supply. For example, power systems or batteries are often under stress, and can easily overheat or fail. So, they are often tested.
#PS_ON pin is marked by number 16. PS-ON Signal is a pin on a 20-pin or 24-pin ATX-specified power connector used to turn a personal computer power supply unit on/off. The PS_ON pin is normally pulled high in an open-circuit, but will turn on the power supply when it is pulled low, by shorting it to the common signal (COM).
