Crumpy Gunt Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Make a continuous 'beep-beep-beep' sound? Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Just burning data off it before I format it and give it to my mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Where abouts does it beep? startup or while it's actually in windows? I'm guessing the latter if you're going to format. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Normally the manner in which it beeps is a 'code' as to what is wrong with the computer. I *think* said codes tend to be documented in any motherboard booklet that you may have / the website of the motherboard manufacturer. Mine beeped cos it overheated, but I think that'd be quite obvious as it'd knack after a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yeah sometimes an attached device might cause it to beep at start up trying removing the mouse/keyboard and see if it beeps then. I think 4 beeps is normally power on a HP.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lazlo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Lack of drivers especially gfx causes beeping from the speaker in windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 gfx as in graphics, as in your display adapter. The beeping can mean it's not plugged in properly or at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lazlo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 A format won't fix the problem. If you have a pre-built p.c look on the makers website for your model and download and install all the motherboard and display adapter drivers for your system, i'll assume you have onboard gfx. If you run your p.c without drivers you will notice stuff like when you scroll down a page for instance the text will jump instead of scrolling smoothly, you will get beeps from the speaker as well while doing this. Also you won't be able to change your screen resolution above the default. Obviously because you are booting into windows it's not a bios warning otherwise it would just hang and not boot. If you get stuck post the model of your p.c here, if you can't get it you'll need to identify your motherboard. There's also a chance it could be a faulty keyboard or similar, it would be prudent to unplug all of your usb devices and try a different keyboard if you have one spare before trying the drivers. It'll be one or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
