    I cannot reboot or shut down completely after uninstall something or install something, such as magicISO, but it only happens once after I do a clean install everytime.
    The power and bluetooth LED lights are on, the screen and others are off,
    and a system beep (1 long 3 short) 3 times OR (1 long 3 short and 3 short)
    However, the issue will not happen anymore after that, and everthing runs good.
    Anyone know what that means?
    Thanks

    I just look up the beep symptom on Lenovo.com
    My case should be:
    One short beep, pause, three short beeps, pause, three more short beeps, and one short beep.
    1. DIMM
    2. System board
    Anyone can explain more about it?
    Thanks
