    Have you tried F8 to enter Safe Mode?

    Is this a new problem?

    What is the make and model of the computer?

    Are you familiar with opening it up?

    Beeps are BIOS codes. The one Beep is a normal OK boot.

    A continuous beep is indicating some hardware failure.

    Reseating and minimizing the RAM is always a good first step if you are comfortable working inside the case.

    Hope This Helps

    Normal POST - system is ok
    2 short beeps- POST Error - error code shown on screen
    No beep- Power supply or system board problem
    Continuous beep- Power supply, system board, or keyboard problem
    Repeating short beeps- Power supply or system board problem
    1 long, 1 short beep- System board problem
    1 long, 2 short beeps- Display adapter problem (MDA, CGA)
    1 long, 3 short beeps- Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA)
    3 long beeps- 3270 keyboard card

    Looks like Display Adapter to me.
