Patel,
The list below shows the computers beep codes and the issue.
Beep Codes
The computer might emit a series of beeps during start-up if the LCD cannot display errors or problems. This series of beeps identifies a problem and is called a beep code. The following repetitive beep codes help the user troubleshoot problems with this computer.
Beep Code Description:
2 means 2-2-2, that is 2 beeps, 2 beeps, 2 beeps with endless looping.
The delay between each beep is 300 ms.
The delay between each set of beeps is 3 sec.
The beep sound will last 300 ms.
After each beep and each set of beeps, the BIOS will detect if the user presses the power button, if so, the BIOS will jump out from looping and execute the normal shutdown process.
