Hi Guys,
Could anyone please let me know what should i do for this problem? In Jan 2007 i installed demon tools and alchol120% softwares. after that when i restared my laptop i'm getting 5 beeps. Soon i uninstalled those softwares, but still i'm getting those 5 beep sounds(very loud) whenever i boot my pc. I even tried to a couple of time to restore my PC to a point before those 2 softwares were installed but of no use. Could anyone please let me know what should i do(other than sending my laptop to the customer care).
Thanks a lot in advance.

P.S. After booting and the desktop is loaded, may be in a couple of mins. it gives 5 beeps. other than the beep sounds, rest everything looks fine.

configuration:
AMD Turon 64, 2GB RAM,8x dvd writer,120GB HDD, windows XP media center edition

the beep codes meaning depends on your bios, i.e. manuf. and type, etc. determing that and try http://http://www.technick.net/publi...ide_beep_codes
after that, it could be very simple (usually is) or you may be headed for the service agent anyway, too open ended at this point.

thank mechbas. I'll check it and see.

look in the dell owners manual for your system (dells site) for a list of what the beep codes mean
