You receive a WRO Work Repair Order for a PC located at one

You receive a WRO (Work Repair Order) for a PC located at one of the nurse stations. The complaint simply states the PC will not turn on. Upon inspection, you press the power button and it lights up, but you here a continuous beeping then the computer shuts back down. What is the most likely cause and how would you repair it?

Solution

Continuous beep is one of the common signals that we used to get from cpu/laptop. It causes due to some improper placement of some hardware or even some complaint with the hardware. From the no:of beeps sound we used to get from the system, we can get some idea about the issue, like described below:

> If it is just one beep, then the issue is mainly with the computers video card. Try removing the video card from its slot and replace it properly. Also ensure the dusts are cleaned.

> If it is two to three beeps, then the issue is mainly with the computers ram. Removing and replace it back after cleaning may fix the problem.

> if the beep is continuos then the problem is with the processor.

In some cases, just removing and plug-in back after cleaning won\'t do the trick, then, the issue is with the respective hardware, try it replace the hardware with a spare one will help us to confirm if its a hardware issue.
