My computer is acting very strange. When I try to boot, my compter tower beeps continuiously, not one long beep, but it beeps repeaetidly. I have an HP with a pheonix bios (I believe) and I'm running Windows XP. Nothing is showing up on my moniter, and I already unplugged all unneccesary USB devices and took all of the cards out of my PCI slots. I'm trying to avoid getting professional help, because of the fact that I don't have much money. Help is greatly appreciated.

Haha, that'd be a pain to do.

**ImBoReDx14** · 02-07-2006, 01:47 PM

I'm posting on another computer, but I have not backup moniter. My speakers are built into my moniter and I don't understand what you're saying about the graphics card. I tried even unplugging my hard drive to boot, but still have the problem. I tried pressing some of the F keys, but unfortunately, nothing happened. It can't be my power supply, because my fans are working and my keyboard lights up when I start the computer.

EDIT: When I press F1, the beeping stops, but nothing happens.

**soccerPMN** · 02-07-2006, 01:57 PM

Perhaps you have a floppy in the drive that is screwing it up. That sometimes gets my friends who still use them.

**ImBoReDx14** · 02-07-2006, 02:01 PM

I don't have a floppy drive. And nothings in the CD drive either.

**Vanden** · 02-07-2006, 02:06 PM

do you have any Importen data on the computer or not

**ImBoReDx14** · 02-07-2006, 02:09 PM

Not really, I reinstalled Windows about a month ago, so alot of my data is backed up on a CD.

**Joseph Stalin 2** · 02-07-2006, 02:17 PM

Sounds like a problem with your motherboard , many short beeps - seems to be the RAM.

Look into your Motherboard Manual , there should be explains for every beep.

**ImBoReDx14** · 02-07-2006, 02:21 PM

On the HP website, it describes all of the beep codes, but I can't seem to find one that is just for a normal 1-1-1-1 beep.

**Joseph Stalin 2** · 02-07-2006, 02:23 PM

Probably something wrong with your motherboard , try to exchange the RAM.

**ImBoReDx14** · 02-07-2006, 02:25 PM

The only RAM I have is in my computer right now. I don't understand though, how would the RAM be damaged if I haven't done anything to it?

**Joseph Stalin 2** · 02-07-2006, 02:26 PM

The same thing happened to my old computer.

Probably caused by overvoltage.

Hardrive · 02-07-2006, 02:35 PM

call maufactur

(aka some random guy in india)

**ImBoReDx14** · 02-07-2006, 02:35 PM

Well, now it's booting but the "blue screen of death" is coming on and the computer restarts...I might just reinstall Windows.

**ImBoReDx14** · 02-07-2006, 02:51 PM

Well, after a long conversation with the HP tech support people, I have decided to buy system recovery disks. Thanks for the help everyone!
