everyones computer has this beeping sound. it basically means that the hardware is haveing a problem. for example. when u press down more than say 3 keys on ur keyboard at once it does this. my guess is that ur either trying to put DDR ram in an SDRAM slot or the other way round. it ur completely stumped try reinstalling windows or search some other forums through google.

miriam,

Double posting is only going to confuse things and make it more difficult to help you out.

If, after a while, you haven't gotten any responses you can always your thread to the top so that someone who hasn't seen it will have the information from other members input to base a response on.

I do not agree with this response at all!!!
One beep is normal. More than one beep indicates a problem.
You could not possibly put a ddr mem stick into a sd ram slot, there are slots on the bottom of the stick of mem.
Fortunately not every one on this site is as arogent as this person.
I am not the best computer person on this site, but I know there is some one that can help you.

Hey this is not just a beeping sound, The sound goes on and on and on. It does not stop until I turn the pc off. And when I turn it back on the beeping sound is still there with a blank screen. I know there is a problem but what? and how do I fix it Help!
