Helpful Hint

As I remember various tools or websites that I use to help fix computers, I like to share those with you so that you know what is out there for your own personal or professional use later.

If a computer isn't starting up correctly and starts to beep, count the beeps and notice if they are long or short. Then you can find a website like this one: http://computerhope.com/beep.htm

Take a minute to look at this so you can see that it tells you what to check. So for example, 3 short beeps refers to a RAM failure so reset the memory in your machine and try again. If it still doesn't work, the memory chips could be bad. Six short beeps would indicate something wrong with the keyboard.
