My computer lately has been not working when i turn it on there is usually a beep as soon as i start it then the computer screen turns on but now there is about a 30 second delay then the beep goes but nothing displays on the screen i dont know what i did for this to start happening but i would like to fix it.

Do you ever see the splash screen with information from BIOS etc before the beep? I have seen power supplies cause a delayed boot before, but too early to say to replace it however if you have a spare power supply you can try swapping it out and see if that fixes it.

Hi Abmhos! I'm having some computer troubles too as the moment and I know how it feels to have your computer break on you :( so I'll do my best to help out!
What kind of computer do you have? Can you list the specs or a model number if the system is prebuilt?
Also, when your computer is trying to boot, and you hear the beep, do you ever hear any other beeps and/or does the beep go for a longer period of time than normal? Commonly, PC systems use beepers to signal different types of problems with your system. Your manual might say something about different codes signaled by that beeper.
Good luck, hope I helped...maybe a little :)
Best regards!
