What the beeps mean tends to be dependant on the BIOS installed. For example, 4 short beeps on the AMI BIOS means either memory problems, or a bad timer. What BIOS do you have installed?

Did they just repeat themselves the once? Were they four fast beeps or slow ones?

Its a HP Compaq DX6100 MT machine (I'm not actual sure what kind of pc it is as I'm dont have access to the pc now but this is what I was told).

It beeps were less than a second long and a red light flashed as well with each beep
