On start up, my Computer just beeps. 4 beeps 2 beeps 3 beeps 3 beeps, then nothing. I have not installed any new software or hardware.. Any clues on how to relove this?

What was the last thing you did on your computer before this happened?
Did you change any system settings in the BIOS?
Did you add new software? or update any software or drivers?
Did you add any new hardware?
Is your system BIOS infected with a virus?
Because it appears that your PC is hanging up during the Power-On-Self-Test [POST]

Here's what happens; when the power is turned on, the computer BIOS [Basic Input/Output System] runs a POST (Power-On Self-Test). It is a diagnostic testing sequence that the computer runs to determine if the hardware [like the mouse, keyboard, hard drive, etc.] is working properly.

If the necessary hardware is detected and found to be operating properly, the computer begins to boot; If the hardware is not detected or is not operating properly, the BIOS issues an error message.

The error message may be a text on the display screen and/or a series of coded beeps, depending on the nature of the problem.

The series or pattern of beeps may vary...they may be in a number of long or short beeps or a mixture of long and short beeps, or even one long continuous beep, depending on what type of BIOS is installed.

Since POST runs before the computer's video card is activated or the integrated graphic chip on the main board, it may not be possible to progress to the display screen.

So if an error is detected during the POST it will halt the boot process because the hardware is essential for the computer's functions.

How many beeps do you hear during the initial POST?

You may have a burned out video chip/card; or corrupt drivers; or even an IRQ [Interrupt Request] conflict.

If your computer beeping..It means the Ram memory attached in the motherboard of your computer, Is not working

Try to remove and again install it. or you have to buy a new RAM and install



Hope this will solve your problem :)

The beeps indicate that error is usually caused by hardware incompatibility or failure. More specifically check the following list:
You installed new hardware that is conflicting with old hardware.
There was a reecent electrical storm that caused a surge that damaged parts of the computer.

Try the following:
Remove new hardware.
Remove any disks or USB devices.
Remove any disks, CD's, DVD's that are in the computer and if any USB devices (ipods, drives, phones, etc) are connected disconnect all of them as well. Reboot the computer and see if anything changes.
Disconnect external devices.
If nothing appears to work then try removing the ram and installing a new module.

plug everything back in and power up the pc when it gets to the error beeps count them then if you can check online at http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/PC/beep.php for a clue as to what the problem will be.

When you experience next making connection:
Connecting the device to the computer Wizard found new hardware pops up.
Only this time the Windows update searching for software will not work on automatic routine:
ending up with "Cannot Install this Hardware".

Solution:
Manual performing the wizard, setting the device to USB connection type:
1. Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software ?
Select "No, not this time".
[Next]
2. If your hardware came with an installation CD, or floppy disk, insert it now.
Select "Install from a list or specific location(Advanced)."
[Next]
3. Please use your search and installations options.
Select "Don't search I will choose the driver to install."
[Next]
4. Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware.
Select "USB Mass Storage Device."
[Finish]

Note: when using MSC mode always safely remove hardware, the players' removable disk. The icon in the right corner of the task bar.


Once the device can be reached in MSC mode it should be ready to install new firmware on the player:
1. Backup data on the player to the computer when not on the PC already.
2. Reinstall / update firmware from computer to the player: after this the device will have all the maps for writing data and it can be approached in MTP mode again, using application software like Windows Media Player 11.

Need more help, just post a comment.

Go to this page on Logitech support
Identify your cam in top matrix
Cross reference with the Operating System below to make sure the result is compatible with your Computer.

If you have 'New Hardware Recognition' on your computer, uninstall all the logitech software - plug in the webcam and reboot your computer, do not start any programs if the new hardware is recognised and allow the software to be loaded automatically.

If a computer starts beeping on start up a critical input or output piece of hardware is missing or improperly installed. Check all cables and connections, start removing
hardware untie you find the problem mysleuth.

The computer POST (Power On Self Test) tests the computer, insuring that it meets the necessary system requirements and that all hardware is working properly before starting the remainder of the boot process. If the computer passes the POST the computer will have a single beep (with some computer BIOS manufacturers it may beep twice) as the computer starts and the computer will continue to start normally. However, if the computer fails the POST, the computer will either not beep at all or will generate a beep code, which tells the user the source of the problem.

This issue can be caused by any of the below situations.

1. New hardware conflicting with old hardware.
2. Bad or failing hardware device.
3. Connections not connected or connected properly.
4. Recent electrical storm that caused a surge that damaged computer.
5. Other hardware issue.

you can determine the meaning of your beeps finding out with your BIOS System installed on your machine.


Usually you probably have some memory problem.

Yes. Could be a clue to a hardware issue. There are different manufacturers of BIOS... some differences in what the codes mean.

Is it 4 short beeps or a combination of short and long?

A reference for the codes:

Try removing and re-seating your memory card.

the three beeps mean there is a problem with your RAM module or modules either check that they have been installed properly or if they have then maybe replace it or them because they/it could be faulty. thanks
