Commonly a Memory error. Unseat the memory chips, check the connector area is clean and shiny. Never try to use an abrasive on the connector area - A white steadler rubber has been known to achieve good results.
Observe static handling procedures.
The memory sockets as well should be clean with no signs of corrosion.
When refitting the memory, work the chips in and out a few times, to get a good connection.
Good Luck.

∙ 14y agoThere's no way to directly disable this in the BIOS of most computers, as it is an important diagnostic tool and disabling it could make a board appear dead when it is in fact easily repairable. Depending on the age and/or manufacturer of the motherboard, however, there may be other ways of disabling it.
1. Unplug the internal speaker
Many older computers (especially those from the pre-Pentium II days) will have a speaker mounted in the case and connected to the motherboard with a pair of wires. Unplugging the speaker will disable any and all sounds at startup (at least until the operating system loads).
2. Jumper the speaker
Some motherboards may have a built-in speaker but still have a connector to install one. Others may have have a specific jumper to disable the speaker. Bridging these connections with a jumper should disable it.
3. Whack the piezo buzzer off the motherboard
If all else fails, you can manually (or manhandle) remove the speaker from the board. This should not otherwise damage the board if done correctly (some manufacturers just leave the spot open and don't put the buzzer on to begin with) , but will certainly void your warranty. Do this only if you know what you are doing and don't care too much about the board.

Why when you turn on your computer it just makes long beep but every thing seems to be running smoothly?
that beep is called a post beep. when the computer boots, it goes through some quick tests. If everything check out OK, you should get a single beep. If you get multiple beeps, then that mean there is something wrong with the hardware.

When you restart computer your computer gives repeating 3 beeps?
These are called "beep codes". Unfortunately you didn't give enough information. Beep codes are in two formats, short and long. They are in a sort of code, much like Morse code. Are the beeps three short beeps, three long beeps, or a mix of short - long? Does your computer continue to boot and work normally? I wouldn't worry about it too much if it does. Some computers beep on initiating different components. Listen closely and see if you can tell if it's all short, all long or a mix, then search for beep codes and you should be able to find what the codes mean.
What are the sounds produced during hardware error in computers?
Usually, a computer will generate what's called a beep code when a hardware error occurs. Beep codes are sets of tones that are different per error. They are also different among computer manufacturers. The most common beep code is a somewhat long, steady, beep one time during boot. This usually indicates a video card problem. If you have a problem with your RAM, there will be long, repeating tones that persist until the power is turned off. Some computer models will even audibly tell you what the hardware problem is.

No. When playing with computer games, you have to read the instructions too. It just makes children's eye sight worse depending on how long the child uses the computer and it also makes them lazy.
