            <title>PC bootup problems&amp;#33;</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/555769</link>
            <description>Greetings friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a 4 year old PC, AMD processor.  All was working fine until today.  When I switched it on, there was a continuous series of beeping sounds.  It is regular, and sounds &amp;quot;beep........beep........beep........beep&amp;quot; continuously.  Nothing appears on the monitor.  No hard disk activity.  The PC appears to go through the boot devices in the BIOS, because I can see both my CD drives lighting up for a while.  The beeping only stops when I switch off the computer by pressing the power button for more than 4 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have not added/removed any new components in this PC.  It successfully started two weeks ago without any problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What could be the problem here?  I presume the BIOS is telling me something by the continuous series of beeps?  CMOS battery dead? (even if the CMOS battery was dead, wouldn&amp;#39;t the PC at least start up, and flash a warning while booting?)  RAM faulty?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appreciate suggestions to troubleshoot this problem because I&amp;#39;m not too technical when it comes to hardware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TIA&amp;#33;</description>
