Hello Everyone,

I changed nothing on my laptop but since three days I hear 2 short beep tones and recieve the following output on the screen when starting:

Phoenix TrustedCore ...

CPU = AMD Turion ...
ATAPI CD-ROM: ...
Fixed Disk 0: TOSHIBA ...
Fixed Disk 1: TOSHIBA ...
Mouse initialized
ERROR
Resource Conflict - PCI on Motherboard
Bus: 09, Device: 01, Function: 00
ERROR
Resource Conflict - PCI on Motherboard
Bus: 09, Device: 01, Function: 02
ERROR
Resource Conflict - PCI on Motherboard
Bus: 09, Device: 01, Function: 03

<F1> Resume
<F2> Setup

By pressing F1 my OS starts normally.

Any suggestions what might be wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards
Mark

2 Beeps - Parity circuit failure

Explanation:
The parity circuit is responsible for generating and checking the parity bit on the system memory when parity checking is used. This circuitry is not working properly.

Diagnosis:
This code usually means a problem with either the system memory or the motherboard.

you can try swap the memory location
If reseating the memory did not resolve the issue try swapping the location of the memory. If you have only one stick of memory in the computer try moving it to another slot and then boot the computer.
If you have more than one stick of memory try removing all but one stick of memory and boot the computer. If this does not resolve the issue try removing that stick of memory and try one of the other sticks of memory.

Hi

According to the error details in your posting, the error appears after the mouse has been initialized…

I’m not quite sure if an connected USB mouse may cause this error but try to disconnect all the connected devices and try to power up the unit once again…

The error is produced by an hardware device/part malfunction… while booting, the POST (power on self-test) is executed. If POST cannot be passed due to the hardware problems, the BIOS produce a beep code.

If the notebook would still beep even if the external devices have been disconnected, you should start to check the memory modules…
In worst case you will need to ask an Toshiba ASP technician for an hardware check…. It could be possible that your motherboard needs to be replaced.

Hey

Thank You for your answers.

I swapped my two memory sticks, started with only one of them and tried the other => same error : (
There aren't any devices attached to my laptop.

Sending it to Toshiba will be my last option because it might cost a lot (I think).
I bought it in 2008 => warranty expired :S

Do you have any other suggestions? Something I could do before I really have to pay plenty of money.

This error means that there is a problem with an PCI device 01 on the motherboard.
Not quite sure what device could be but I read some interesting news on other webpages.
Someone could solve this booting the notebook with an ejected/opened CD/DVD drive.
Not sure if an CD/DVD drive could cause this issue but try to boot the unit with ejected ODD.
But in worst case I don’t see any other solution as to ask an technician for hardware check.
