I was on the internet, and went in the other room. Suddenly my computer started beeping. Three second beep, 3 sec pause, 3 sec booe, 3 sec pause, continually until i shut it down. When I turned it back on, it beeped the same way. What part of the computer went bad?

Three beeps that repeat after a pause and occur when you power on your computer indicate a problem with the system memory. Three beeps that play and then stop as the computer starts successfully mean that the BIOS was restored.

What motherboard do you have? If you don't know, provice make and model of your system and maybe we can find out that way. Is it one long beep? Are there any other beeps and/or a sequence. A good place to start and alot of times, depending on your bios, 1 to 3 beeps means a problem with the RAM(memory). If you have more than 1 stick, you can pull them out, restart and if the beep is the same, you've probably found your culprit. You can then insert one at a time in one of your slots, then restart. If this works, you've found a good stick. If not, try another slot and restart, etc. Try all sticks in all slots.

This is a list of ThinkPad Beep codes.
It appears you have a memory or motherboard problem, most likely a RAM problem. Try reseating the RAM modules, if this doesn't work, then remove the RAM and take them to your friendly computer repair shop to get them to test the RAM modules for you. If the RAM is faulty them replace.

I need some help. I just bought a new hp netbook, but when I try to turn it on.....all I get is a small box saying: When trying to update a password, this indicates that the value provided as the current password is not correct.

What does this mean, I tried to reboot and everything but nothing happens, the computer keep restarting and I keep getting the same small box.
Please need some advice and help
