hardware trouble, that's your motherboard trying to tell you there's an error. when this happens you can either look up the error code or troubleshoot:fiddle with the insides (reseat ram, cards, ide connectors)remove everything that you possibly can from the motherboard(unplug all cards aside from video card, unplug hard drive, CD-ROM drives, DVD-drives, remove any usb/firewire devices that are plugged into PC)swap out parts (this is only really possible if you have spares)remove everything and put it back together

if this is happening and the PC has never worked before it would be likely that some part of the setup was DOA, like the memory, video card, motherboard, or CPU

What happens during the post process when you turn on a PC?

The post process is the "Power-On Self-Test" during those diagnostics it checks the video card, ram, keyboard, cpu, bios, etc. That's where you hear the beeps come from. The single beep that you usually hear the the test completing successfully. - hopefully you hear a single beep ;)


How can you stop the constant beep on your PC after switching on?

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". There are many sites which can help you decipher the code pattern. You will need to know the BIOS manufacturer for your motherboard.
