If the computer is emitting a constant tone from the speaker when you turn it on, the computer does not pass diagnostics. If you did something (change or add a component) check that first. Next, check the things most likely to go wrong (connector loose, card loose, etc.). It could also be cause by a dead backup battery - tat's a hearing aid sized battery on the 'mother board'. Good luck As the answer above says, it's a cry for help from your motherboard. The idea to unplug and reseat your memory and exapnsion cards is a good place to start. Be sure to know and use good static electricity control procedures. If you can get to a working PC and access the Web, Google for "pc beep codes".

The beep is a message from your BIOS. Depending on what your BIOS is, the long continuous beep tells the problem the computer is having. Knowing what BIOS the computer has will help with figuring out the problem.
In every computer I've seen, one beep means OK.
because PC's can multitask on PC multitask is like switching file on ps3 multitask is like putting in a new game
For most computers this is signaled by a single "beep" after the self test.
