High pitched beep sound

[zoso]

On 3 occasions so far, and fairly recently, a short while after I boot up my notebook there is a high pitched (singular) beep. There are no indications of whether something is wrong and I can't determine what triggers it.

What does it mean? And can I do anything about it?

Thanks.

Thank you for showing your interest in the HP Forums,
I’d like to help 🙂

As I understand on start up your HP product High pitched beep sound,

It is normal for the computer to make one or two short beeps during the startup process or during a BIOS update. Let the process continue and do not interrupt it.

However, if the computer beeps and Windows doesn't start properly, a more serious hardware problem exists.

The most common problems that cause beeping sounds are:

• Memory and heat-related failures caused by a build-up of dust in critical cooling areas
• A keyboard key is stuck
• A memory DIMM or hard drive cable is not seated properly
• A component on the motherboard has failed
• A basic computer function was unable to start

If issue persists, please reply with the product or model name of your computer.
