1468597 2020-05-07 04:57:00 My HP one piece system,just over 12 months old, April was when it was made.
From time to time, on startup I get blank scren and 3 beeps followed by another 3 beps, but different tones.
Being talking to my computer guy, for a few months & when he rang to ask about it, last night, he said to remove ant external hard drives & HDMI cables & reboot.
Finally this time it happened when he was on the phone.
I put phone close it it and he yelled back, to remove power cable & hole power switch on for 10 seconds.
We then put power cable back & restarted.
Said now he's heard it will give it some thought & get back to be.
Warranty expired but he said as I told him about 2-3 month ago he will cover it.
Any one got and ideas what it might be?
:thanks
Ian

Three beeps that repeat after a pause and occur when you power on your computer indicate a problem with the system memory .

As for your computer guy, he did nothing for months??!! Beats me why more people don't use Wainui as their tech . . . he could source and send you a pc you know, even if you don't live in Wellington .

I used to for customers, sent PCs all over the place, and had people happily courier them for repairs and upgrades too .

And warranty, he is required to operate under CGA too you know so your warranty is irrelevant .

Depending on the BIOS, it could be failing Memory, Beep codes are specific generally.

Could be some thing simple like removing the memory, give it a blow out, put it back.

Edited: DAMN piroska beat me to it by seconds. :lol:

Edited 2, Not to sure about her location though :D
