i have no clue why it happened, but it did. i was doing something that fenzodahl512 asked me to do to get rid of winspyware and my computer started beeping. i wasnt even sure this was possible so i asked him and he said my compture was having "technical/hardware problems.." as i said before i ddint even know this was possible so i have absolutly NO clue how to fix it.

Hello,

Were you typing at the time? If so you could have maxed out the flood control on the PC and that is why you got the beeping. Or did this happen at boot?

Cheers,
Mak

Sometimes when the computer is moved and/or over time a memory stick can become loose causing the computer to be unable to read the memory or get errors as it's reading it. Try fixing this issue by opening the computer removing each of the memory sticks you have in the computer and then placing them back into the computer.
