Notebook beeps while booting up
Posted: 13-Feb-2011 13:05

After a clean up by tech expert who removed messenger (duplicate) from msconfig and one thing from start up menu,
I installed the latest windows updates. First restart was fine.

Next time I rebooted and heard two beeps after I saw the desktop icons. Rebooted.
Heard one beep. Still hear that beep. Google suggests one beep is normal but I'm not used to beeps.

Old laptop but upgraded with six month old hard disc and drivers by toshiba experts.
Had AVG. Installed microsoft essentials after beep (made no difference).

Am I in trouble or is this fine? Programmes work well. (Famous last words?)

Hi

Notebook beeps while booting because it runs the POST (power on self test)
This is a usual procedure and nothing unusual.
If you mean this beeps then you should not be worried about that… this is ok

I'm not persuaded. It comes rather late during boot up (desktop icons visible etc) and I've not had it before. It used to be two beeps.

Toshiba person suggested running on battery. Now I hear two beeps. It's two years old. Beeps after power icon and before messenger. Seems to have two hours plus of power,

Beep reflected incomplete uninstall of AVG. Used their uninstall too, no more bbeeps. Now autorun doesn't work if I insert usb stick.

Hi,

In the case that your PC beeps after the OS has been launch, it may be due to the fact that your CPU is overheating and that could be some serious matter.
