538660 2007-04-07 00:50:00 Continuous Beeping: Memory or video problem

It would help if you told us what yod had been doing to it before this started.
And what hardware it consists of.
It could be incompatible ram, badly seated ram, badly seated graphics card or faulty ram or graphics.

538661 2007-04-07 00:50:00 Nup, the screen would still come on if the kb wasnt plugged in and tell u or give u an error on the screen. It would still boot.

It wouldnt beep continuously.

538662 2007-04-07 01:03:00 My parents have just had the exact same problem with their computer, see my post titled "dead CMOS battery?" with regards to that.
It turns out that the problems in our case was the graphics card gone kuput.

As others have said earlier, it could be graphics, RAM or CPU.

How old is the PC?

Also do you know what brand the graphics card is?

538663 2007-04-07 01:21:00 I opened the computer. I think I see the problem. My cpu fan i believe is broken. I can see a broken plastic bar that secures the heat fins and fan.

I applied pressure to the fan manually and the computer starts up!
but now im getting all sorts of C:/WINDOWS\SYSTEM/WINMM.DLL FILE appears to be corrupt. prompts.

I probably need to replace this right.

538664 2007-04-07 01:30:00 Yup if the fan is broken replace it.

It should fix the prob (it not booting up).

I would fix the fan before going onto the errors.

They should hopefully be easier to fix. When is this error about winmm.dll coming up?? Just as its about to boot into windows??

Or before / during the booting into Windows?

538666 2007-04-07 04:30:00 Count the number of beeps - also are they short or long and then go to this web-site www.computerhope.com decibel (11645)
538667 2007-04-07 04:49:00 My cpu fan i believe is broken .

An overheating CPU gives off more of a siren beeping: low, high, low, high .

You need to be specific .

And if you persisted in running it you could have fried the CPU .
