Computer Has Odd Beeps When Starting
Recently my computer (HP Pavilion Slimline s7700e PC, running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit) has been starting with two short beeps; lower in tone than previously... the first beep a little lower in tone than the second. The tone repeats itself one more time.
A couple of weeks ago the computer was making beeps that signaled a memory error, so we removed and replaced the memory modules and the computer booted up again, but with the new tones. It's been running fine since.
This morning I attempted to turn the computer on and nothing happened. I went and booted up my laptop to check my email, and while I was doing so the desktop computer suddenly came alive, with the same two lower-toned beeps has been the norm lately.
Does anyone have an any idea what might be going on with my computer?
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm afraid to turn it off again for fear it won't start. We have to go out today, and I hope it comes out of hibernation when we get back home.
