What the beep?

Q: I just either moved my computer or opened it and then it beeps when I try to turn it on and it continues to beep. What is that beep?
A: It is part of the POST (Power On Self Test) that tells you that something is not working right and most likely that is a problem with the memory. Most likely the memory needs to be reseated (taken out and then put back securely, sometimes they may need to be swapped with a different module). (there is nothing wrong with the tiny speaker that is beeping)
