My comp wont start and makes a beeping noise when i try to power it up?

Answer 1

if it doesn't power up, but just beeps, your power supply could be out ... they can go out on their own or a power surge can cause it. if you open the side of the computer, is there a little box with 2 digital numbers or letters? if so, what is the make and model of your mother board and what do these 2 letters say (it is an error code and can tell you what is wrong).

Answer 2

The Beep code is telling you what's wrong with your computer. There are different types of beeps for the different types of problems.
So take note of exactly the type of beep, then look up the code then come back here with another question if needed.

Example: Repeating short beep =
Power supply or system board problem

Answer 3

The beeping noise is usually an indication of faulty hardware. Have you recently made any changes to your configuration?

Sometimes RAM may be faulty or not compatible with other brands, which can stop your computer from booting correctly.

Try removing any new hardware you may have installed in your PC and see if that does the trick.

Answer 4

The beeps indicate a BIOS error. It could be a number of things. Try resetting the CMOS. This will reset the BIOS to the default settings. That may resolve the problem, for example, if you somehow locked in the wrong multiplier or if your RAM is operating with inappropriate timings. It may at least allow you to better determine what the problem is if you can access the BIOS.

Answer 5

These beeps or beep codes all have a meaning. Here is a link to a Google search that will let you know what the beeps mean.

Answer 6

Usually this is a hardware issue. I have seen it caused by two things:

1) If it's a desktop, it could be a loose expansion slot card. Unplug the power cord and remove the cover. Make sure any accessory cards (ethernet, game, etc.) in the expansion slots are firmly seated in their slot Try removing them and then putting them back in to ensure they are seated correctly.

2) It could be a loose memory chip. Make sure that each bank of memory chips are firmly seated in their slots. Try removing them and then putting them back in firmly.

Other then these, it could be some other hardware problem on your motherboard.

Answer 7

Almost anything......Processor fan gone bad....memory gone bad........a cable could have come disconnected to the hard drive.

Open the computer box clean it out with a can of air. Check the processor fan, reseat the memory sticks, check all cables and power connections, check the mouse and keyboard connections.

Also check the power supply.

Answer 8

BIOS communicates problems as a beep code,
each BIOS manufacture has its own beep codes
for specific beep codes for your motherboard,look in the motherboard documentation for the name of the bios manufacture
here is a list of the web sites for the most common BIOS manufactures:
AMI BIOS:www.ami.com
Award BIOS and Phoenix BIOS:www.phoenix.com
Compaq or HP:thenewhp.com
Dell:www.dell.com
IBM:www.ibm.com
Gateway:www.gateway.com
hope this helps good luck

Answer 9

my opinion is there is something wrong with your ram. Before that assumption is true, be sure to check and make sure your mouse and keyboard are plugged in all the way. most of the time it is simply the keyboard. it will not start and will beep if it is unplugged.

Answer 10

If your computer is not working properly when it is switched on, there is a hardware problem. Most of these problems can be solved by just opening up the computer and removing the dust . Detailed instructions at http://fixit.in/computerbeep.html
