Hey there. I got a new second hand pc and when i first booted it, it worked gine with windows 8. Then i booted it and it beeps 4 times and says;
CMOS settings wrong
date/time wrong
overclocking failed
device will restart in 15 seconds.
I can't even go to the setup. I tried resetting the CMOS but i can't get to the setup. I also tried removing my ram. Thanks in advance.

This is from my Asus P5Q3 Deluxe User Guide. I'm not sure the BIOS beeps are the same but you should try, I hope it helps.

One short beep - VGA Detected, Quick boot set to disabled, No keyboard detected
One continuous beep followed by two short beeps then a pause (repeated) - No memory detected
One continuous beep followed by three short beeps - No VGA detected
One continuous beep followed by four short beeps - Hardware component failure
