esystems laptop beeping at startup

[balboabob]

I was given an esystems e725 laptop with windows 7. 
At startup a continued beeping sound occurs, after repedly hitting F2 and Enter, the machine finally boots to win7.  All works fine until restarting.
On the advise of esystems, i reformated the hard drive, but to no avail.  the warranty period has expired so this was the only advice they would give for free.

Can anyone advise as to how to cure this problem?

Thanks,
Bob

Please explain the pattern of the beep. Is it a repeated fast beep, a long beep followed by short beeps, three short beeps, or something?

Knowing how it is beeping will likely tell what the problem is.

We have got to stop those aliens from Jupiter telling use how to fix out computers.

Are you sure it was the service company for that brand?  I don't believe it

I don't believe it

Does it matter if you believe it?

You mean eMachines.  You'll get no support from them.  Continuous beeping is a hardware problem of some kind.  Isn't that why you were given the laptop?
