What you’re hearing is a diagnostic beep code, analagous to Morse-code, that tells you what the problem is. The Power On Self Test (POST) in the system BIOS issues the beep code

Do a web search for “beep codes”, and you should be able to find the codes for your system.

Typically, this is a catastrophic hardware failure, like memory or hard disk. It could also be a keyboard failure. Have you spilt anything on your keyboard? :)

Hi-

no, nothing was spilled on it. Husband was trying to open up a portal for work that he has gone to before and it was opening so computer was just closed for later. Then upon reopening computer and hitting the power button the laptop just beeped so he hit the power button again to turn it off.

Good morning-

the beeping is non-stop-

It's comforting coming to a site where there's always someone who understands...
