| 1388144 | 2014-11-15 23:17:00 | Something has either failed or come lose / not making contact. What happens is when the PC boots, it looks for all the components ( called POST) Power on Self Test, if something is wrong you get the beeps, depending on the type of beep depends on what the problem is. Could be any of the following: Power Supply Failure Memory Failed Hard Drive Failed Motherboard Failed Graphic Card Failed ( if it has one - Not onboard) CMOS battery gone flat Theres a few more reasons as well. It can also mean what ever is causing the problem is full of dust EG: sometimes the memory gets dust in the slots, removing the memory / blowing it out putting it back fixes it. |

| 1388146 | 2014-11-16 03:33:00 | Usually: RAM failure or not seated correctly. Graphics failure. Although, the beeps are an indication - how many, short or long etc.... And thus can be as Wainuitech says. |

| 1388148 | 2014-11-16 20:54:00 | Count the beeps and tell us how many, also tell us the computer brand as beep codes can vary between brands. If you find that too hard (sometimes the beeps can be very fast) you could record the audio and upload it somewhere. (Soundcloud?) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1388149 | 2014-11-17 07:30:00 | Thank you for all your responses, much appreciated. This morning I turned it on to count the beeps and it opened up and now back to normal, Thanks again |
