Bios beep and no boot

Moha__ · Oct 22, 2017

Hello everyone,

so I had so many problems with my laptop lately but I managed to fix it at the end but in the past few days, " sometimes " when I restart my laptop it will not boot, black screen and it beeps one time continuously like this beep .. beep .. beep .. forever, until I press the power button and force it to shutdown and turn it on again and it works, anyone knows what's going on cause it may means something that I need to fix before something worse happens.

I have Alienware 18

Service Tag: ( Mod editing: don't put the service tag )

Note : I feel like this happened after the guy unplugged the Bios battery and plugged it again, the boot process kinda changed it started showing stuff It wasn't showing before, it can be just different setting I'm just telling in case it helps.

Thanks

Check the manual to see there is any beep code in it, because they will tell you what exactly the error.

Also try to test the RAM, if your laptop had two, with MemTest86 one by one to see the memory is fine or not.

Okay Thanks I will tell you what happens after I test the RAM, and I couldn't find any manual for this kind of beeps ..

The GPU, gtx765m, had problem. If you can find someone to replace the GPU for you in low cost, otherwise you will need the new computer.
