What does it mean when a computer starts
making a continuous beep sound, all in the
same pitch about 5 times/second?
And won't boot...

I means a trip to the repair shop. Could be the RAM, could be the hard drive
crapped out.

If it's a laptop, it could also mean the laptop isn't plugged in and your
battery is dead or dying.

It's a Morse code message from Bill Gates that says, "Send me more money..."
But you knew that, right?

Beep-beep-beep means it is at least trying to boot, and getting stuck in
POST. If OP installed anything right before this happened, they should
remove it. And then, one connector at a time so they don't get lost, unplug
and replug every card, cable and connector inside the case, and remove and
reinstall all the memory sticks, one at a time. Anything beyond that will be
beyond their skills, since they asked on here. At that point, time to call a
computer geek buddy or get professional help. Figuring bench time at 50
bucks an hour, if the computer is over 3 years old, probably more
cost-effective to buy a new entry-level machine online or at the big-box
store.

When the computer boots find out the bios type (award, ami, phoenix,
intel)- probably one of those four- and go to the website and look for
"beep codes". The amount and frequency of beeps vary by manufacturer.

Someone mentioned you potentially having a bad hard drive- that is
incorrect. It has nothing to do with it.

The memory angle is more likely.

I can't find my old BIOS listing, but I believe 3 beeps means either the
disk controller is bad.

Uh, beeps come before the splash screen. No way to tell BIOS type short of
pulling the lid and reading labels (or RTFM if he has one that detailed).
But all of that is beyond OP's likely skill set anyway. If 'wiggle the
connectors' doesn't bring it back to life, he will likely need geek help.
Most if us 'in the business' have the ability to build a PC from a pile of
loose parts in our sleep (and have), so it is easy to loose sight of what an
esoteric skill set that is. On the other hand, to me, sewing machines run on
magic. :^/

a beep just means that one of the following aholes in here (AHR) has gotten
into your computer.
one of these so-called experts (Alternate Hackers Repair) are surely
responsible.
They are NOT who they appear to be.

I'm the one who posted the question. I don't know what
a mismatch is. I have a router. You don't seem to know
that which about you speak. : -)
