Why my compaq presario cq60 continuous beep when boot start

jsut about all the computer now when the computer boots hold down the f12 and then choose the usb drive to boot. if it does not show the usb drive yo might hav to go into the cmos and change the settings. then again it if is aold computer then it might not have that option

Reinstall the O/S. If hard disc connection is loose, this might also happen.

press F8 continuously after you turn on the laptop, then you will see a bios screen. Look if hard disk is detected in bios

thats like my computer and should have a recovery partition on the disc try to fix from there ok its f11 on the start up menu

Most likely in this case, the damage is to the hard drive or its connection to the motherboard. The CQ series though has a three point screw attachment for the hard drive so Im more inclined to think that the shock of the landing has damaged the read/write head on the hard drive. If you happen to have another hard drive for a laptop, try installing a new drive and run the installation disc and see if it will complete and boot completely....if it will then the problem was the old drive.

Computers beeps are caused by the power supply, system board, graphics/video card or keyboard.
Reboot your system with out the keyboard if it no longer beeps your problem is a couple of stuck keys on the keyboard.
If the beeping continues remove your graphics card and reboot your system.
If your pc still beeps the it is either your power supply or the system board.

insert the disc into the drive, restart the computer.If it doesn't boot from disc, restart again.
As it restarts, press and hold F8(may be F2 or F12 depending on the settings)until the boot options screen appears. Using the arrow up/down keys select drive "d" or what ever drive letter represents the drive you put the disc into.
It will now(or should) continue to boot from the disc, follow the onscreen instructions to restore.

The touchpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 has stopped responding

Try pressing F2 on start up.

Try booting to Safe mode by tapping F8 on Compaq screen. and try system restore from there to a working time.
