Low battery, you need to recharge it.

Sounds like a virus. Update whatever virus scanner you have then scan the computer in safe mode.\n\nYou get into safe mode by hitting the F8 key while it's booting up at the very beginning.

The 4 beeps mean that the memory modules can't be accessed. \n\nEither the memory sticks have come unplugged (from bumping the laptop against something) or they have gone bad. \n\nIn either case, the laptop case has to be opened to examine the memory. Computer shop is your best bet.

he he, I think I'd be a good idea to talk to the seller who sold it to you about this problem. Our new computer's keyboard(HP) makes noise and I think its just the way it is. he he, hope its not too late to get you an exchange for a better one. good luck.

Yes it sounds like a hardware problem, if not then it could be some sort of virus or bug.  I would do a virus check and a hardware check.  Like run a diagnostic test on your computer to make sure all the hardware is running properly.

If you can not get the monitor to turn on with this graphics card you might want to take it out and replace the old one reconnect everything to make sure it is working. \n\nWhen you say that your computer is starting - are you sure, can you hear any beeps or anything or is it just the fan in the computer that your hearing start up. Also when you try the power button on your monitor does it blink on and off? If that is happening then your not getting a good signal from the computer to the monitor. If your just not getting anything to the monitor then I would definitely check and double check your connections.\n\nSilly as it sounds it could be the surge strip plug you have it in is bad. - Been there done that myself.

Check to make sure you dont have any recalls on that particular thing. Maybe you didn't put it in correctly. ummm maybe your laptop is not responding correctly to it because the unknown error is not effecting it. Just follow the error and keep doing what ya doing. have a nice day

These beeps are the POST (power on self test) message which it uses to communicate with you when something has gone nadly wrong and it can't start the system to show stuff on the screen.\n\nThe meaning of these beeps depends on which BIOS your computer has got.\n\nThis page may help but you really need to know the specifics of your machine\n\nhttp://www.technick.net/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=guide_beep_codes

Memory - try removing the memory and see if you get system beeps.  If you do, then put the memory back in one at a time, until it fails to beep.  Do them separately, to determine which one is bad.\nVideo card.  Do the same thing.  Remove the video card, and see if the system beeps.\nAny other cards.  Same drill.\nYou can also remove all cards, and memory, so all you have is the mainboard, and fans.   See if it posts, or beeps.  If it does, then you start installing cards, and memory one at a time until it returns to its current issue.  This helps you isolate the defective item.\nIf the PC doesn't beep, and the symptom is unchanged with all cards and memory removed (unlikely), then remove all drives as well, if it still has no beeps, then its your mainboard.

Some noises are normal and some are indicators that certain hardware like the hard drive may have a scratch on it or may be on it's way out. I would suggest backing up your data that you want to keep (Windows has a Backup Wizard found in accessories) and either wait for it to go out or have it looked at by an A+ Technician. Do not take no for an answer when you ask for an A+ Technician also ask for thier CompTia A+ Card.\nJohn\nA+ Certified Professional

Maybe your battery has a problem? what I suggest is for you to take out your battery and plug your laptop without the battery. If your laptop works fine, then its a battery problem. If the problem still exist, put back your battery and  change your charger. Did you drop your charger before? there may be some loose connections inside.

take your laptop to the service center as this should not happend maybe the battries arnt proper or maybe theres a problem with the laptop itself

if it beeps 4 times (1 long 3 short) your video card is dead.  Get a new card to fix it.

On a laptop, it shouldn't affect the computer, provided your battery is in good working order.  If your laptop's power supply failed, your batteries should kick in until AC power is restored.  If you think it's your power supply, try to get another one to see if it happens with that one.  If that's not the case, then it may be an internal issue (overheating, for example).\n\nOn a desktop, though, the power supply might be a cause, but then again, viruses, a bad motherboard, or overheating could also be causing your computer to reboot spontaneously.  You'd have to take more notes when it happens - does it happen when you do a particular thing (maybe a virus) or after a certain period of time (maybe a virus or a heating issue), or is it completely random (power supply may be working intermittently)?  And then, after your computer shuts down, does it come back up immediately or does it take a few minutes to start again (maybe a heating issue)?  I would check for viruses first before getting into the case.  If I went into the case, get some compressed air and blow out all the dust, and then see if all your fans are working properly.  And if that doesn't help, try another power supply if you can.

Well, no beeps means that something is wrong all right. It may not be the hard drive. You should hear one beep att least - that means "I'm fine" - but no beeps means that the CPU (note that CPU means  central processing unit and NOT the whole computer as some ppl use it now) is not responding. So, how much do you know about hardware? If you don't know a lot, just bring it to a good repair shop. If you do, tear it down to nothing but the CPU and heatsink. I'll post more if you add a detail to your question "Yes I know how to tear it apart and put it back together" - otherwise, repair shop time.
