Mary is switching ON her computer after a couple of weeks. She hears a set of continuous beep codes, and the computer does not start. What could be the most likely cause?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuous beep codes are a symptom of a critical hardware component malfunctioning. Although the exact interpretation of this is dependent on the BIOS version, many times this is a memory issue.
Key Takeaway: When there is a problem with memory, the system complains with long, loud beeps if it can't find any usable memory. When this is the case, there is no way to even start the boot process.
