    Hi @littledawn please indicate the exact model of your computer and the installed version of Windows.

    Does that happen when starting it or while it is in use?

    If it is during startup, can you access Windows later?


    All the best.

    Three beeps that repeat after a pause and occur when you power on your computer indicate a problem with the system memory. Three beeps that play and then stop as the computer starts successfully mean that the BIOS was restored. If you're hearing a beeping sound (or a certain pattern thereof), It's a hardware issue. If it's a continuous beep then the fault is most likely the RAM. Make sure the RAM modules are seated properly. If you have more than one RAM module installed, try booting with one at a time to isolate any issues with the modules themselves. All of it involves opening up your laptop. If you're not comfortable with that, ask an experienced person to help.
