This includes not being able to get a signal through the GPU to the LCD panel. The above is a link to Alienware beep codes, use it as a guide, not a bible as it's not always 100% right.įor example, this table says 8 beeps is a faulty lcd panel, but about 50% of the time 8 beeps can mean faulty GPU, especially on a 3D panel.ĭuring preboot test the computer checks a bunch of things, which include the GPU and LCD panel, it sends a signal through the GPU to the LCD panel, if it detects any faults it will beep 8 beeps.
