Toshiba Satellite 1800-S1800 won't load OS. Hangs and Beeps before power down.?

Hi,

I got a Toshiba Satellite which wont let me install OS. If I boot up from Windows CD, it will freeze in the middle of installation. If I hold down the power button to power it down it beeps 6 times before shut down. 1 long and 5 short beeps. Can't figure out the bios manufacturers name....so can't make sense out of the beeps. I have replaced HDD, Keybrd, Memory sticks.....Power supply....Still won't let me install OS. Any good pointer is much appreciated.

    I think the best choice is to phone, the company...and tell them about the problem. They might fix the laptop, or have you send it to them for a new one. Are there any warranties that you know of that you can use...because it sounds like the pc is rejecting the OS....

    Talk to the company, and see what they day,
