Title: Computer Beeping
Post by: nplawyer on May 12, 2011, 04:24:18 PM

I have Compaq SR5450F desktop.  Earlier this week I woke it from sleep mode, but rather than waking it just started beeping; one long beep (about 15 seconds) followed by a long pause (about 10 seconds), repeating indefinitely.  Compaq/HP support indicates a serious problem with the CPU or motherboard.  I have tried troubleshooting to eliminate memory and peripherals, but the problem seems to point to the cpu or motherboard.  Is there some way I can tell if one or the other (or both) is the culprit?  The computer does not boot at all.
