Answer 1

As these folks are saying, you have loose memory, a pc card that is defective or not seated, any number of things. Your mobo manual will tell you what the problem is according to the number of beeps you are getting.

Answer 2

We need more information. If the issue is it's not getting through it's power on self test, it could be bad hardware. Let me give you an example of a problem I had. I bought a bare bones computer and I added a modem into the expansion slot. When I turned the computer on, it gave me a DMA controller error and the system was halted. Once the modem was removed and a good modem was inserted, the problem was fixed and it could boot to Windows.

Answer 3

the beep sound occurs only due the problem regarding memory chip....
1) if you hav got a new ram check you have the same speed of operation as that of your old ram...
2)the ram must have loosly fixed try to fix it firm..
3)if you hav got two slots r more change the postion of the ram ....

Answer 4

continous beep, does that mean one very long beep, if yes, your CPU is damaged, if no, then

1. if you hear fast discrete beeps, your keyboard is had a stock key, check all keys.
2. if you hear long discrete beeps, then the problem is in your memory.

Answer 5

Brandon is right, having a bad pci or video card can & will keep your computer from making it to Windows, even if the pci card that's bad is only something like a modem or sound card.
