pc won't boot, contstant beeping
Hi All,
I have a pc that wont boot, it is a hp pc.
Basically the lights come on etc, no monitor.
It is making the following beeping pattern,
approx 7 seconds of a beep, approx 7 seconds silence, approx 2 seconds beep, approx 2 seconds silence,approx 7 seconds of a beep, approx 7 seconds silence, approx 2 seconds beep, approx 2 seconds silence etc..etc..etc...
Does anyone know what this beeping represents? or is there good website that explaines beeping patterns? i.e what part of hardware could be in trouble.
Hope someone can assist.

I basically stripped doen pc, removed Ram, Hardrive, PCI etc..
Botted pc and beeping stopped.
Reset everything and it worked fine.
