Why does my computer beep continuously when I turn it on and then not boot Windows?

Asked by chromaBYTE (652points) October 25th, 2009

When I turn the computer on it will start beeping continuously for about 30 seconds. It then gets to the Acer splash screen and won’t go any further.

I opened the case up to see if there was any loose connectors and found nothing. I discovered though if I unplugged the internal hard drive I could get the computer to boot off CD or USB drive. The beeping still remains though with it unplugged.

Anyone know what is wrong and, better yet, how to fix it?

The computer is an Acer Veriton 5600GT.
