The beeping will be a BIOS "message" of a fault, that can usually be determined by the exact beep sequence.

If you listen carefully, is there a sequence to the beeping (such as one long and 3 short beeps, repeating, or is it just continuous short beeps, long beeps or ???)

its short repeative beeps that dont stop till you press enter. then it works fine its just at the start up. im not sure why. thanks

Do you have a power on password set on the laptop? If so, change it to nothing.

Other than that, contact Toshiba.

Do you know the BIOS vendor?

zisthewiz · 24-Jul-2008, 09:31 PM **#11**

hmm, just considering most beeps i've ever got were memory related, but the pc still runs fine doesnt it?

zisthewiz · 24-Jul-2008, 11:08 PM **#13**

well it some degree. it does freeze from time to time and i have to restart it. i mean i suppose thats normal? i have no idea lol

EvilAzza · 24-Jul-2008, 11:11 PM **#14**

it shouldnt but a lot of pc's do :P depends what 'time to time' is like once a day or..

zisthewiz · 24-Jul-2008, 11:21 PM **#15**

well sometimes it happens like while im using it within 2 hours about 2 to 3 times and sometimes it might not happen at all but once or none at all.

but it worries me when i hear it. it doesnt stop till i press enter and i wonder if its something more.
