When you turn on your computer it just makes a long beep how do you get rid of it?

Answer 1

Commonly a Memory error. Unseat the memory chips, check the connector area is clean and shiny. Never try to use an abrasive on the connector area - A white steadler rubber has been known to achieve good results.

Observe static handling procedures.

The memory sockets as well should be clean with no signs of corrosion.

When refitting the memory, work the chips in and out a few times, to get a good connection.

Good Luck.

Answer 2

There's no way to directly disable this in the BIOS of most computers, as it is an important diagnostic tool and disabling it could make a board appear dead when it is in fact easily repairable. Depending on the age and/or manufacturer of the motherboard, however, there may be other ways of disabling it.

1. Unplug the internal speaker

Many older computers (especially those from the pre-Pentium II days) will have a speaker mounted in the case and connected to the motherboard with a pair of wires. Unplugging the speaker will disable any and all sounds at startup (at least until the operating system loads).

2. Jumper the speaker

Some motherboards may have a built-in speaker but still have a connector to install one. Others may have have a specific jumper to disable the speaker. Bridging these connections with a jumper should disable it.

3. Whack the piezo buzzer off the motherboard

If all else fails, you can manually (or manhandle) remove the speaker from the board. This should not otherwise damage the board if done correctly (some manufacturers just leave the spot open and don't put the buzzer on to begin with) , but will certainly void your warranty. Do this only if you know what you are doing and don't care too much about the board.
