As stated before, the beep error codes depend on the type (and even sometimes version) of the BIOS. Don't give such lists if you don't know exactly what type of bios the codes are for or for what BIOS the codes are requested. As it is, your list is totally wrong...

yea yea sorry now i realized that

but this site has different types of BIOS

I compared both sites in AMI section and they are the same.

so this means, they are common beep code ?? for all or most known

I'm getting a new pc for xmas anyhow. So I'll just use my laptop for the time bieng

Anyway, did you try removing the ram and putting it back?

My bestfriend also has problems with his mobo, but the problem is his HDD, i just unplug everything and connected everything again like if I was building his computer for the first time and everything works again. You should trying with the Mem Ram first, if taht doesn't help then your RAM stick is fried and/or is another component.....

Yer tried that

If your going to get a new computer, get a good power supply so such things won't recoccur, I got myself a great Enermex(sp?) Power supply, and it has a power surge, so whenever it goes low, it shuts down the computer.

erm, yes of course those entries are the same, they are both for AMI BIOS. But zaher1988 first listed the codes for a pure IBM system, not for AMI.

Not at all, as said they totally depend on the type of BIOS, there are no "common" codes.

Though, normal power supplies you can buy for your PC, do not protect against power surges at all.

At best there is fuse in the power supply (like the one you bought), but this isn't a total protection either! It actually gives a false feeling of protection as it only protects your PSU against to much power drawn from the components of your computer (and only secondary to some certain small surges from the outside).

The fuse is only there to protect your, let say 300W, PSU. So in case all your PC components actually need 400W in total, the PSU wouldn't be fried.

It wont protect you against power fluctuations (which can be as much damaging as surges), serious surges, lightning strikes, internal circuit shorcuts, etc... In short, the fuse is to protect your PSU, not your PC...

If you want one which does protect you decently against everything you need to buy a professional one (commonly external) and those cost a lot of money.
