When your is computer making some funny sound via the system speaker, it's not doing it because it wants to be heard. The computer is trying to tell you what's wrong.
| Beep Code: | Description of Problem: |
| No Beeps | Short, No power, Bad CPU/MB, Loose Peripherals |
| One Beep | Everything is normal and Computer POSTed fine |
| Two Beeps | POST/CMOS Error |
| One Long Beep, One Short Beep | Motherboard Problem |
| One Long Beep, Two Short Beeps | Video Problem |
| One Long Beep, Three Short Beeps | Video Problem |
| Three Long Beeps | Keyboard Error |
| Repeated Long Beeps | Memory Error |
| Continuous Hi-Lo Beeps | CPU Overheating |
So as you can see, if your computer doesn't start up and starts beeping away like a mime you can start the process of figuring out what is wrong by stopping for a second and listening. From a single beep which tells you everything is okay, to three long beeps which indicate a keyboard error to the sirCen like Hi-Lo beeps that tell you the PU is overheating - listening to your computer is good!
