8 Beeps: Display memory read/write failure
Explanation: The BIOS is unable to write to the frame buffer memory on the video card.
Diagnosis: This is usually caused by a problem with the video card, or the memory on the video card. It can also be a motherboard issue.
Note: Unlike the other
AMI beep codes, this one is "non-fatal". The system may continue to boot despite
this error.
