There could be a number of things wrong. When a computer is turned on, a set of programs called the BIOS do a number of checks on your computer (checks RAM, checks the keyboard, etc). These beeps are usually an indicator that something has gone wrong with those checks. Without knowing the motherboard or BIOS version, it will be hard to definitively determine the meaning of the beeps.

Depends on your computer. What you're hearing is the bios POST (power on self test) delivering an audible message, just in case you can't see graphically from the boot. Each motherboard is a bit different. It could be anything from no mouse/keyboard to a failing/failed hard drive or other internal issue.

Is it coming from laptop audio device, your modem, and so on.? Does it basically take place at startup or shutdown? basically on a undeniable website or utility? some application may well be alerting you via the motherboard's outfitted-in "beep" speaker on your tower. additionally, spec's help: which includes working device (homestead windows XP professional, and so on.), any significant trend in habit (basically at specific cases or while specific homestead windows/courses are working), and your hardware configuration (do you have a valid card, does it have audio device plugged into it, are you working a Dell/Compaq/MacBook/IBM ThinkPad, and so on.).

You may need to know what BIOS your motherboard uses by entering into Setup before your OS boots. Once you know which BIOS you have you can check the following website:

.it could have a connection problem, or it could just be the computer is having to work to hard, and you need to get an upgrade for the processor and a memory upgrade

The answer depends on the motherboard you are using.
