find out the manufacturer of your motherboard, then go to their website - they should have a list of the BIOS beep codes so you can diagnose the problem better.

As the beep codes are unique to each system board, you will need to check the manufacturer's web site for a list of codes. Often the codes will be made up of more than one number, so it could well be the code 2-6. (The 2 may mean a memory problem, and the 6 the specific memory error - or something similar). Checking the site will help you better interpret what you are hearing, and then what it means.

Check the monitor cable if it is connected check the video card if it is seated Good check the memory stick if they are seated good. this is what cause computer not to start and beep. this is hardware problem.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
