Computer would turn on, I would see a HP logo, and right when it should be loading to see the users, the computer started setting off a loud, high pitched beep that was non-stop until turned off. This started happening about 3 a.m. last night. When I woke up I went over to the laptop to troubleshoot it, now it no longer sends any display to the monitor on the laptop. I tried hooking a external display up to it and had gotten no response. I believe it had done a Windows Update last night to cause this, but I am not quite sure.

    A major component has failed on your laptop. It depends on the number of beeps.

    There is a good chance your motherboard is dead. Video is integrated into laptop motherboards, so it's not easily replaced. If your laptop is under warranty, you'll want to contact the manufacturer.

    You can also have a technician run some checks on it.

    Good luck.

    Ps,

    Stay away from Gateway, eMachine and Toshiba Satellite machines next time. ;)
