don't ask Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 When I powered on PC about 5 minutes ago - the PC beeped 3 times then showed a message saying C: FAILURE Press F1 to resume. It then booted up OK (perhaps just a fraction slow).Oh dear! I'll see what happens next time I power on.I guess this is a pretty serious message !

homecomputeraid Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 It could be that there's an immanent hard drive failure, or it could just be a loose connection. You might reseat the power and data cables on the hard drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 More critically you might like to do a backup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 That 3-beep is a POST code...Most likely your Hard-Drive has failed :unsure: Try reseating the connections as HCA suggests, tehn begin looking to do a backup/replacement, if you can pull any data from the hard-drive.
