Question

Laptop is beeping at startup.

Apr 8, 2020 4:24PM PDT

Hey there. So my hp probook g3 is making beeping noises during startup. Sounds like 10 to 12 beeps. I have updated all the bios files . Did a system restore . Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated. The laptop does start up and I am running Windows 7.

Thanks for the guide. It is a 450 g3. The beeps to me sounds like 10 to 12 but HPs guide only seems to go up to 8 for error codes. It's the same fast loud beep. And while redoing the bios files a couple times it beeped different than before but at the last bios file was done it went back to 10 to 12 beeps.

Try a hard reset

Unplug everything , pull the battery out , hold the power button down 20 seconds , put the battery back in and reboot without anything plugged in .
