If its a desktop computer,those are probably beep codes for trouble shooting,count them ,go to your computers web site for the code definitions,i would unplug it first ,discharge any static,open the side panel,carefully remove the ram sticks one at a time wipe them off and reset them,its the most common problem,sometimes just taking them out and putting them back in fixes it,if you dont know what ram sticks are or your computer is still under warranty ,disregard this and call a tech.

This happens mostly due to memory (RAM) not getting detected by the system, To resolve this issue remove and again insert the memory (RAM) into the slots firmly, Also check if any of the wires is touching/blocking the fan on the processor heatsink.

Depending on the number of beeps and any pattern of long and short tones, you may have a problem with your memory or video card. You can open up the case, remove and reseat the memory and video card and try restarting the system again to see if it clears the problem.

Dose the server beep sound no display

If you only hear beep sounds but no display on your monitor it might mean a los of different issues.
Chech if your monitor works, connect it to another computer. If it woeks count how many beep sounds do you hear when you turn on your computer., go to google and input "meaning of beep sounds" Depending on numbre of beeps, you can get a fast diagnosis. Probably you have ahardware issue. If it is not tne monitor, it is your server and I suggest you should take it to a reapir shop

Beeping sound when starting

Usually when you first turn the power on ... it's usual to hear a couple of beeping sounds . And then, you may hear whirling/clicking sounds when your disk starts up (rotating) and your CD/DVD drive starts up, etc.. Then the monitor/screen lights up and starts to show the operating system (e.g. Windows) panel ... as it starts up.

If your system just beeps ... and beeps ... and beeps... and nothing else happens, the screen doesn't light up and show anything (for a few minutes), it likely the system is not starting up properly.

If you can clarify what actually happens, maybe I can offer more suggestions/information to help.

The monitor shows the sound is on but I don't hear

On what, your oven or is this a laptop or PC, a laptop adjust the sound settings, on a monitor, you need a HDMI cable to get sound from a monitor. And a PC that has onboard HDMI or a graph card that has HDMI.

On boot up I can hear the hard drive responding but I dont hear the computer posting and the screen is black.. no errors or anything. Any suggestions?

Reseat the memory and try it again. If it still doesn't work, what do you hear for the hard drive? Does it just whir to a full spin up, or does it chunk n klunk?

I was getting the blue screen for a few months, and now when I power my Gateway GM5084 the lights come on and I hear it running but nothing comes up on the monitor. It's like it's not connecting...

First I would try a different video card to see if your video card is faulty or not. If you still can't seem to get any picture it could be that the power supply on your computer is starting to fail and not providing enough power to the video card.

Usually your PC will beep if it is a video card issue so if you don't hear beeps I would guess the power supply is the culprit. A replacement power supply is not that expensive and is quite easy to install as well.

I have a MPC ClientPro414 and I had turned it off when I went to turn it on the screen will not come on. We do not have the install disc and am not sure what to do? The screen dose not light up to see it...

Usually computers make beep sounds when starting up.

Do you hear any of the beep sounds?
If you hear two beeps with an interval of a couple of second, than the computer should be ok.

It could also be the monitor. Try connecting the monitor to a computer that works, or try connecting a working monitor to your computer. If the computer lights up with another monitor, then the monitor is faulty.

If the computer still is not starting up with a working monitor, than the videocard of the computer should be checked next.

The computer won't turn on

Try these steps if your computer won't turn on:

*You may or may not see a light on the back of your PC depending on the kind of power supply you have and the exact cause of the problem.(monitor light will likely be amber/yellow if your computer has stopped sending information to it)

*The power lights will stay on, you'll likely hear the fans inside your PC running, and you may or may not hear one or more beeps coming from the computer. If you hear beep sound, check your physical connections to the PC like RAM, Monitor, Cpu, Keyboard.
