AMI bios

[Billy_Mays]

I have an old PC that I want to fix but it posts and you can enter the bios too. The beep code error is one low one high then six lows I don't really know why it is doing this. The CPU cooler is clean and I can't think of anything that will cause it to make an error

3 short	Base 64K RAM failure
4 short	System timer failure
5 short	Process failure
6 short	Keyboard controller Gate A20 error
7 short	Virtual mode exception error
8 short	Display memory Read/Write test failure
9 short	ROM BIOS checksum failure
10 short	CMOS shutdown Read/Write error
11 short	Cache Memory error

Since you have 8 beeps, sounds like memory issues.
