Computer just beeps

Hi
My brother is running 98se he bought PCcillin and updated, run check, found two viruses cleaned with PCcillin. Was told (By PCcillin) that there were windows updates needed, went to windows update and downloaded updates.
7 of them mostly IE 6 security updates.

Shut down computer (Start shutdown) and restarted his computer and now it does nothing but beep. Nothing on the screen, Black.
Tried starting with 98se CD in rom drive, nothing just beeps. Black screen, can't get into any commands, DOS nothing.

Any Ideas what we could try?

Thanks
Geri

 

Beep Codes
BTW, do you happen to remember the virus names? Anything with CIH in it? I hope not and really do not think so as today is not near the fatal dates.
More on this here. Think Nuked computer.

 

Thanks mark
I will try to find out more.
(That sounds like a nasty virus )

Hi Mark or all

For some reason his computer came back on

He get this message on every reboot...
C:windows\system\vmm32\ESUART.VXO

He also gets a page fault message

I posted a HJT log of his in remove spyware.....

Thanks for any help

That file is a modem driver file. The corruption of this may lead to the message you have posted, as this is part of your internet connection.

 

Hi Mark62
Thanks
Can you tell me how to check this driver, if I can, and a way to fix it if it is corrupted.
Thanks
Geri

 

Try booting into "SAFE MODE" (press F5 during boot)

Then remove the modem from Device Manager. On next restart it should PnP the modem and ask for drivers. - Don't let it use existing files - load the driver fresh from CD.
