This is the BIOS telling you that something's wrong. You need to check all external connections 1st, if problem persists then check all internal - including seatings.

- Failing that determine your motherboard's make and model then Google these + "manual".

Since not all motherboards produce the same BIOS beep warnings you need to...

- Download manual, check out troubleshooting & pinpoint issue.
- Resolve issue.

Many such issues are very simple to fix e.g. keyboard/mouse not detected, memory not seated correctly, etc. If a device/card (e.g. gfx) is suspect, you may want to try it out in someone elses PC before replacing with a new one.

As swiftly mentioned above, have you installed any new hardware into the PC - e.g. gfx card? if yes, make certain this (and any other new device) is getting enough power...ultimately, your PSU needs to be fit for purpose within your system.

Do a search for beep codes for your computer model.

A long constant beep happens then a keyboard key is pressed in often.

Also could be the Video card if using an add in video card and you forgot to plug in the 6 or 8 pin power connector that it uses.
