Beep codes are designed to inform you of an error without having to rely on an external output device. Many of the beep codes relate to video, while others may indicate errors that may result in video output being unavailable in the first place.

How do you get a second monitor to work?
First of all - you need a graphics card that will support two monitors. Many/most don't. But if yours does, just plug the second one in. If it's an HDMI connector, there's a decent chance your system will detect it and adjust your graphics settings automatically. If it's a VGA connection, you'll have to adjust your graphics settings manually.
For windows 7, right click on your desktop, and select "Screen Resolution"
After that you're going to have to scroll through the menu items to find the way to add the second display.

DVI-(Digital Visual Interface) a video interface standard designed to provide very high visual quality on digital display devices such as flat panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors.
HDMI-a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. It represents a digital alternative to consumer analog standards. This is the newest and by far the best connection type for monitors as it transfers but video and audio. This cable type however has only recently become supported by mainstream video card creator.

What is the difference between Hd monitor and HDTV?
HD stands for High Definition. This term is misused constantly. HDTV is spesifically a digital TV signal in 720p, 1080i or 1080p. The number refers to the number of horizontal lines that make up the pictuire.
The i stands for an interlaced picture. Essentially the picture is drawn in two steps. First lines 1, 2, 5, 7 etc are drawn, then line 2, 4, 6, 8 are drawn. This gives very detailed and clear image, but could cause some jitter in high speed movement as the two fields in a frame are are slighly out of sync in fast motion.
The p stands for progressive scan. This means that each frame is drawn in one pass. However this also means that it takes twice as long for the image to refresh. In sports it means that each image is sharper and jitter-free, but the motion is not as smooth. Of course the average viewer really doesn't see much of a difference in normal viewing conditions. Double-blind surveys have proven this over and over. The differences are generally only noticed in conditions that most people will never have in their homes. But that is topic for another debate.
Though just about every HDTV on the market now supports 1080p, only some HD divices and specialty satellite and cable channels (not ones one would watch on a regular basis) provide this format.
For reference, standard definition picture on an old style TV was closest to 480i. (Analog 535 lines interlaced)
LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Diode.
LCD is one of the most common types of HD TV.
Plasma, DLP (Digital Light Prosessing), CRT (Cathode Ray Tube), and OLED (Organic Light Emiting Diode) are other types of HDTV. Each have their advantages and disadvantages. All provide a fantastic picture when fed a true HD signal.
With an LCD TV (which could be an HD TV or a Standard Definition TV (SDTV)), there is a light source (flourescent, LED, etc) that shines through a liquid crystal display to produce the picture.

Correction: a socket T is a LGA 775 package which means that it has a 775 pin CPU which fit into a 775 contact(not pin receiver) socket on the motherboard. A socket N is a mPGA478B package meaning a 478 pin CPU that will fit in a motherboard with a 478 pin hole receiver socket. ~Yagon~
