My PC has suddenly stopped booting and is beeping codes (2 long beeps and 2 short beeps)
All the information I have found relates it to a corrupt BIOS but I have rolled it back and tried different versions of the same BIOS but every time it's completed and reboot, I get the same beeps.
The HP symbol comes up as normal, then it goes to boot and I get the spinning circle for about 2 seconds, then PREPARING AUTOMATIC REPAIR, then Your PC did not start correctly. Press advanced options to try other options to repair your PC.
Because it gets this far, I don't believe it IS the BIOS.
Any ideas?
