Hi @L0S3R_B4BY,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds like your computer might be experiencing hardware issues. The beeping noise you're hearing is likely coming from the motherboard, and it's often a signal indicating a problem with the hardware components. The number and pattern of beeps can actually provide clues as to what might be wrong.

Here's what you can try.

• Count the beeps: Count the number of beeps you hear and note whether they are long or short. Different beep patterns usually correspond to different hardware issues.
• Check the manual: If you still have the manual for your computer or motherboard, it might contain information about what the beep codes mean. Look for a section on troubleshooting or error codes.
• Reseat hardware: Turn off your computer, unplug it from the power source, and open the case. Carefully reseat components such as RAM modules, graphics card, and any other expansion cards. Sometimes, loose connections can cause these issues.
• Check for loose cables: Make sure all cables inside your computer are securely connected. This includes power cables, data cables, and cables connecting peripherals like the monitor.
• Remove and reinsert RAM: If reseating the RAM didn't work, try removing all RAM modules and then reinserting them one by one. Sometimes, a faulty RAM module can cause boot issues.
• Check for overheating: Make sure that your computer's cooling system is working properly and that there is no excessive dust buildup. Overheating can cause hardware failures and may result in the symptoms you're experiencing.
• Test with minimal hardware: Disconnect all unnecessary peripherals and expansion cards from your computer (such as printers, scanners, etc.). Leave only essential components connected, such as the CPU, RAM, and graphics card (if your motherboard doesn't have integrated graphics).
• Try a different power supply: If you have access to another power supply unit (PSU), try using it to power your computer. A faulty PSU can sometimes cause similar symptoms.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
