Start up beep....doesent stop

[howelly]

When your PC boots up you immeditaly get the start up beep, well so far that hasent stopped yet, it keeps giving out beeps every second or so, i really dont know why,

I open it up and had a look and i couldent see anything loose that may cause it, but all i know is it comes from this little black thing i believe that is the system speaker on the motherboard.

Can anyone help me with how to stop it, because i really have no idea what so ever.

If no-one knows how to solve this can someone just tell me how to disconnect the system speaker, cause its really pissing me off now.

Well some more system information is needed, like motherboard, CPU and BIOS type, usually that kind of beeping is indicative of a problem with the CPU heatsink fan or some other heat problem, the best thing to do would be to shut it down until we can figure out exactly what you do need to do.....

Continuous repeating beeps with an Award BIOS normally indicates a problem either with the video card, memory, or CPU.
Since your video card is built into the motherboard, see if you can borrow a PCI or AGP(if your MB has an AGP slot) video card. You may have to disable the onboard video adapter either with a MB jumper or in BIOS. Check your computer's or MB's documentation to see if this is required and how to do it.
If the video adapter is ok, then make sure the memory is securely seated. Also, try it in another slot. If no luck, try different memory. It appears that your system uses either PC100 or PC133 SDRAM. But check this first.
If no luck with the video card or memory, then it may be a bad CPU. Only way to check this is to swap it out or have a shop test it.

I vote for video......make sure that the connector for the monitor is firmly attached and secured with the screws.
