Computer Problems

Original post by katum_mite Listen, I need some help! Whenever I turn on my PC, it starts to beep then it would still be on but nothing happens. This happened before and it stopped. Now it's happening again! Any suggestions on how to fix this?

The beeping is a POST code indicating an error condition. Figure out your motherboard / bios and go look up the POST codes and figure out the problem, and then go from there. If its an intermittent problem, it could be a powersupply not supplying stable power, or it could be bad memory, or any number of other things.

Yup!I hope you have your pc motherboard manual handy for the POST codes or an extra pc with internet connection to look them up.

An easy fix might be to remove the memory and graphics card, and then put them back in again. Had this problem with a computer that wouldn't start, and that fixed it. It seems like something was loose, and simply removing and reinserting the memory and graphics card fixed it.

I hope thats the case. Thats about the only problem that causes the beeps thats easy to fix.
