Introduction:
You sit down at your computer, ready to start your daily routine. However, instead of being greeted with the familiar "beep" of your system when you first turn it on, you are greeted with a blank display and a series of long & short beeps. Frantically, you turn your system off, hoping nothing has been damaged and that your computer will start up normally when you turn it on again. You try to turn your system on again.... no dice. Same set of beeps and a blank display. What is a computer user supposed to do? This article will hopefully assist you in deciphering what those arcane BIOS beep codes are trying to tell you and how you can rectify the problem, bringing your system back into an operational state.
