SOURCE: ACER Aspire- beeping sound - 6seconds when I power machine on

The beeps are telling you there is a hardware failure (POST). The number and length of beeps will give a better indication as to what has failed. Write back with that info and someone on this web site will interpret this for you.

SOURCE: computer wont boot hear one beep from motherboard over and over

If your power supply is bad, there is typically a much cheaper way to fix it rather than purchasing a new one.

If you know a little about electronics or know someone who does have them open up the power supply and check the capacitors. Often times when a power supply goes bad its the result of capacitors going bad.

If you notice on the ends of any capacitors a brownish/whitish discharge or "bulging" then the capacitor has gone bad.

A new one typically cost less than a dollar and replacing it is fairly easy if you know how to solder.

Let me know if you have anymore questions and hopefully if this is the case you can save some money.

Hi,
Download the manual for the laptop, which will give details of how to replace/reseat components.
The manual may also include explanations of those beep-codes if the bios was made or adjusted by Acer themselves, so you should look for that.

You can download a manual, and other Acer stuff, from here....

SOURCE: acer aspire m3201 wont boot up

There are numerous issues that could cause this but if absolutely nothing happens, no lights, no fans, nothing then check the power supply. Use a simple voltage tester to see if you have any voltage on the connectors going to the hard drive and cd/dvd drives. If not this is a pretty easy and relatively inexpensive fix. You can e-mail me at [email protected] for more help.

Acer Aspire 7720 beeps after awhile

If it continuously beeps after every while, must be you have some alert on software running on background, check , could be temp alert, or if you have any antivirus software, it also leads to beeping whenever it finds a virus(sometimes). Hope this helps.

Acer 5742g Beep at boot up

I have a problem that looks like this one.

At boot up, after the POST, each time the HDD led blinks, the laptop produces a loud "beep", and refuses to boot, as if this phenomenon prevented the HDD to be read.

If I press the power button, it stops beeping. When I release it, it starts beeping again.

If I press F8 at the beginning and then ask for a normal boot, It boots normally. Anyway, in windows, I have some strange activity, like I would continually pressing Alt+Tab. If I press Esc, it stops immediately and then all seems to work fine.

Any clue?

My Acer Aspire 1500 laptop wont pass startup.

It seems that your laptop hardware is good and it seems that it is a software issue.

  1. Boot in safe mode: When your laptop start, press the F8 key. then it will ask you which boot device to boot from, browse using the arrow keys and chose something with HDD and press ENTER and then press the F8 key again. Then you will be given a boot option and choose SAFE MODE.
  2. While in SAFE MODE, try to uninstall your newly installed software that might be causing the laptop to hung up.
  3. Also, click Start => Run then type: msconfig.
  4. Go to the Startup Tab and uncheck the many programs that looks not necessary to load while windows is loading. The program like Yahoo Messenger, Skype can be opened manually so uncheck them if present.
  5. Click Apply then OK.
  6. Restart your laptop and see if it helps.

Sounds like the OS is currupt and you will need to boot with your restore cd which you received with your system, and set everything to factory default.
Good Luck.

Acer Aspire 5110

Does your computer make the beeping sounds on boot up. If so, this means that a drive is corrupt and it's not loading the system driver files or is not seeing your hardware to boot up..

Are you running windows xp?

Have you tried running a system repair using your windows xp cd?
That works by putting in your xp cd...booting to the cd....the first window you come too will ask you the basic, agree to terms, press f8 to agree...then to the next screen.

There it will have 2 options...install a fresh copy of windows
Repair a version of windows...choose repair

Allow the repair to finish...and restart....if the repair was successful, your computer will restart normally...

Let me know if this works.....and how many beeps you are getting

New Acer Aspire E700 does not load-up

Does your BIOS POST runs then you might be having a Disk Booting Problem, If you dont see your BIOS POST Screen, then check if you can hear any beep sounds, If you hear beep sounds check the ram whether it is properly inserted in the ram slot or the ram might be faulty.(You may have to change the Ram). If you dont hear any beep, check whether the buzzer(Speaker in the CPU) is working, If buzzers were working fine before, then you might be having problems with your mother board or processor. If you know how to work on such problem try reinstalling the processor, ram etc in the cpu . Otherwise call a service engineer to have the job done.

LCD Display not turning on.

Do you hear any windows login sounds? If there is no picture from an external monitor it is possible the video card has become faulty. If it is a video card, you are probably looking at a motherboard fix or replacement. Either way best to get it to a laptop repair shop. I dont see any way for you to fix this at home im affraid.
