Sounds like a beep sequence, which can be code for what the problem is. You need to know what BIOS you have Award, Phoenix, AMI. They each have a different set of beep sequence to tell you what part of the POST (power-on self test) failed

That is strange usually the beep sequence will be a code like 2 short 1 long 2 short 1 long, and the most I have ever seen is about 12 beeps

Hi mel67...
Usually, a siren sound coming from the machine will indicate an overheating CPU or a CPU fan that is not spinning at the recommended RPMs. Has your machine been showing signs of instability in the recent past?

Can you access the BIOS. Sometimes you can change temp and fan speed setting, you could possible increase the warning limits

nothing comes up on the moniter it stays in standby, so cant get into anything at all, tried changing the fan on the cpu but no different, cant get into the bios
