Ok first turn the power off at the wall & disconnect the power cable, now open your computer. Once open if you do not have an ani-static strap simply touch the case to discharge any static and keep your hand there. Whilst you have one hand on the case with the other hand gently press down on the ram & any add-on cards to ensure they are seated fully, secondly again whilst still holding the case with 1 hand make sure that all other connectors such as power, hdd, etc & all connections to the motherboard are fully seated. Then after you have done all this plug you power cable back in and re-connect the power cable to mains & try restarting your computer if it starts as normal then it was one of the components had creeped up with the cycling up & down of the pc this is a normal thing due to expansion & contraction of the metals etc that make the components up inside your pc. If this hasn't helped then turn it off at the wall again & disconnect power cable from the wall & computer then you can take out all add-on cards & add the power back to the system & start up your pc if it doesn't start then it is the hdd has either failed or become corrupted & will either need to be recovered professionally or repaired or replaced it is cheaper to replace a hdd than to have it repaired. Yet if you computer starts then shut down add 1 add-on card back to the system & start up if it starts with that add-on card continue to add the add-on cards back in until it fails that's if it a case of an add-on card failing. If it is an add-on card that has failed simply purchase a new add-on card & install remember to remove the old add-on card prior to adding a new 1 unless it is the exact same add-on card to avoid conflicts.

SOURCE: beeping when i turn on and black screen

IT is either one of three things. 

  1. keyboard missing; check it's plugged in.
  2. graphics card; check that it has not been dislodged and is seated properly.
  3. memory. Are the memory cards properly seated?

SOURCE: getting 2 short beeps and 1 long beep ā€“ black

Hello,
Your computer has memory problems. First checkvideo. If video is working, you'll see an error message. If not, you have aparity error in your first 64K of memory. First check your SIMM's. Reseat themand reboot. If this doesn't do it, the memory chips may be bad. You can try switchingthe first and second banks memory chips. First banks are the memory banks thatyour CPU finds its first 64K of base memory in. You'll need to consult yourmanual to see which bank is first. If all your memory tests good, you probablyneed to buy another motherboard.

Clean the ram and the ram slot .then fit it again.

My pc boots, the the screen is completely black.

If you can see the bios screen at the boot . After that your screen is black.
The OS might be corrupted I suggest you to reinstall the OS by using the re-installation Disc.

If you are getting any beep sound then the error codes of one long beep & 2 short beep Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information.


If you don't see the bios screen & beeps, there might be problem with the screen or the VGA chip in the motherboard.

If so I suggest you to contact the service center near by.


I am sure this will be helpful for you.

Gateway c140 beeps

If you have an AMI bios (you can tell when you boot and the black screen has writing on it at startup - the bios type and version is the first thing at the top of the screen)
1 long and 3 short beeps indicates that the memory is not seated properly. You should check that it is secure on your motherboard. If it is seated securely, your memory is maybe faulty.
