computer question

All right, I have a problem with my computer whenever I turn it on it starts beeping and doesn't stop until it shuts down. The beeping is also in the speakers and it makes it hard to listen to stuff through the speakers.

My question is: Is there anyone who could tell me what the problem may be?

EDIT: okies... I searched and it appears that on most BIOS types, Continuious Beeping means a problem with your Video card or Your Memory (most likely the memory)
https://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/sys/beep...tinuous-c.html

may have somthing relevant, but PCs are like small Babies... its hard to tell what the hell they're screaming about sometimes

--- (possibly worth ignoring after Edit... though if you're curious )
this is a quick guess and probably some way of the mark, but you may want to check what temperature your CPU is running at. My PC used to beep when it started to overheat, but only beacuse I had a program that was installed to tell me so... Just press Delete shortly after switching on your computer to enter the BIOS and have a look for the temperature readings... I think you should be getting:

around 40 degrees or cooler for an Intel Processor
around 65 degrees or cooler for an AMD Processor

just don't hold me to that

It's most likely a Video Card problem, because if it was a memory situation, a warning would appear on your desktop as well. The easiest solution would be to just replace your video card, which would solve the problem. Word of advice: you shouldn't mess around with your BIOS or Video card unless you have a lot of experience with hardware.

man, i used to get an error like that, it could be "Cpu error" it happened to me a while back, all i did was remove my cpu, and clean it(dont put ur hands in the bottom part of the cpu, because it could get damaged) just blow on it.

however, don't blame me if ur cpu gets F*cked up

I have the same problem. It didn't start doing til after a week I installed it.

Dan, no I don't have XP I've got Windows '98.

I thought it might have been the sound card.

You'd think that it would be a sound card issue because of the beeping wouldn't you? Lol, the first time it happened to me, I was confused too.

just to make sure, you may want to install the latest drivers for your sound-card. If you did that shortly before the beeping started, try downgrading your drivers.

Well, the situation turned out to be a good thing for me. I wanted to buy a new Video Card for a long time, and this kinda gave me an excuse to do so. What I did was replace the Video Card immediately, and the problem was solved.

Thanks for all the help. I haven't fixed it but I think for now you guys have given me a lot of information on the probable cause and I will let you know if I need more help.

Lets not overlook a very simple problem he could have.... He might just need new speakers.

if thats the case, try muteing the pc speaker in the volume controls...

[Right click on the "speaker" in your system tray (the thingy containing the connection icon and the clock) > select open volume controls > options > properties > and tick "PC SPEAKER" in the "show the following volume controls" box then click "ok" > tick the mute button]

on the other hand, it may already be ticked (mine is ) and this may have wasted your precious time
