Okay, my problem is this, my computer (HP) will turn on and does the usual beep to notify that it's working. A few seconds after that it just keeps beeping repeatedly, the CD drive opens and closes when I hit the button, the monitor shows the normal HP Pavillion startup screen (but won't change), and the mouse and keyboard won't respond. The Repair CDs won't work without the keyboard. Any help would be accepted! Keep answers simple please because I'm new to how to fix things like this.
