boot error

When I shut down and connect to a differant monitor, it won't restart. Gives 2 beeps followed by two different toned beeps and does not stop. I hold power button down till off, then restart and all starts good until I switch monitors again.

your computer was factory-loaded with Windows 10, not Windows XP.

Different pitch ("high/low") or different length ("short-short-short-long") ?

The computer has integrated video, but it has provision for installing an add-in graphics adapter.

So, if your computer has that add-in graphics adapter, and it is not properly "seated", then connecting/disconnecting a monitor to the video-output socket may cause those symptoms, by "wiggling" the adapter.

Be sure to power-off your computer before changing monitors.

Yes, it has Windows 10 Home, my mistake. Guess I miss my XP. I'm using integrated graphics. I'll bring it back to store tonight and see what they say. Unless there is a quick simple solution that someone may have from having the same issue.

Returned to retailer for exchange. Second one works great. Thank you.
