Your computer system loses power while you are working on a project for a very important client. When the computer restarts, you hear continuous beeps coming from your computer, and the monitor is showing no signal.

What do the beeps mean?

Answer:

The beep means that POST (Power On Self Test) has failed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To fix a computer giving beeps, one needs to research the BIOS beep codes.

When a computer is powered; first, it runs a Power-On Self Test (POST) to determine if the hardware components of the computer are working correctly.

Once a problems is detected, it means POST has failed, it'll give some beeps and the computer won't come up start.

To fix this, the technician needs to run a quick search of the beep codes to determine the cause of the POST failure before troubleshooting further.
