6, 7 / Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system. Consult y our system manufacturer. Bef ore declaring the motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of interf erence by a malf unctioning add-in card. Remov e all expansion cards except thev ideo adapter. • If beep codes are generated when all other expansion cards are absent, consult y our system manufacturer’s technical support. • If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing the malf unction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a time until the problem happens again. This will rev eal the malf unctioning card.
8 / If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the video adapter. If thev ideo adapter is an integrated part of the sy stem board, the board may be faulty.

So the problem is [“AMIBOOT.ROM” file not found in root directory of diskette in A:] ? Methinks not.– harrymcSep 26, 2009 at 19:43
If I googled it right, your should be AWARD bios. After googling on: "award bios beep codes" it comes out as some kind of memory problem (RAM).
In my experience, 99% of the time beep codes mean CPU or Memory.
The first thing I would always you do is to reseat the memory, if no change, take out all pci / addon cards, then try again. If still nothing, check the CPU is ok.

Computerhope site has good information about BIOS codes. And the list is separated as per manufacturer. There are many other manufacturer. You've to find out which BIOS you've with your motherboard manual. Or you can try applications like CPU-Z Or PC-Wizard.
