I started my PC and I got only a 1-2-1 beep code. I know that it's something with the timer-block but I don't know what to do. I hope somebody can help me. Thank you in advance for your time.

How did you determine it's a timer problem? Did you just flash your BIOS before this happened?
Anyhow, reseat your video and ram, and disconnect everything else. Will it POST?

I looked on pages for beeping bios codes. There was written that the beeping code from a Award Bios like that from me (1-2-1) meens that a timer-block - or something like that - is the problem. But I didn't find anything about what a timer-block is. So that's my problem I hope you can help me.Thank you in advance for your time.

Huh, I didn't find that one. Anyhow, did you follow my suggestions in the previous post?

That code is aparently correct for Phoenix (who now own Award) but I don't know that it is correct for Award. Have you tried re-seating or replacing the video card and the memory ?

AFAIK, if Award BIOS beeps it means video or RAM problem.
Bios Bleep
