Multiple Bsods untill black screen(moniter safe mode?) And unending beeping

[Abingdonplatnum]

Hello,
After multiple blue screens of death and many system attempts to fix problem, I have ended up with this. My monitor goes into safe mode and the pc not so quietly runs the fan and beeps until l i try and restart again. Any help would be appreciated. I am forced to use the kindle now so I cannot provide the logs you requested. The only recent change was downloading the Cricut Design Space update that they required.

Thanks

Hi Abingdonplatnum,

What are your system specs?

What kind of beeps do you mean?

 

[Abingdonplatnum]

I have attached a zipped audio file. you can hear the fan and the beeping. As far as specs go... I'm sorry i have no clue. It was my wife's before we were married, that was five years ago. It is a Dell inspiron 530. service tag: 5s56HG1 express service code: 12624296401 .Intell Core 2 Duo

Thanks

At the end, starting on Page 83, you'll find troubleshooting tips, including the Beep Codes.

For 1 beep :

1 BIOS checksum failure. Possible motherboard failure. Contact Dell.

But, on the of chance that it is 4 beeps (spaced out, for whatever reason they would do it):

4 RAM Read/Write failure 1 Ensure that no special memory module/memory connector placement requirements exist (see "Memory Installation Guidelines:" on page 123). 2 Verify that the memory modules that you are installing are compatible with your computer (see "Memory Installation Guidelines:" on page 123). 3 If the problem persists, contact Dell.

I don't think those are BIOS beeps, the beeps should be a lot faster to be related to the BIOS.

If it is a single Beep then that is what it would sound like.

It's a continuous beep that you hear every few seconds.

and that would be 1 beep, correct? Not a short staccato of multiple beeps....

Unless I am reading this line incorrect, it's not related to the BIOS.

EDIT: yep, reading incorrect...
