One long beep [SOLVED]
So I have an HP Pavilion g7,,,I go to turn it on after it has been off for a few hours and I get one long beep. Does anybody have any ideas what this is?

Just a guess, but it sounds like something is failing. The hard drive maybe?
Does it boot up at all?

Re: One long beeeeeeeeeeeep
I think one long beep indicates a memory problem, and the solution is to reset the memory modules. Be sure to unplug the machine and disconnect the battery first.
It could also be a stuck key on the keyboard. The Tab key on my Compaq laptop would get stuck from time to time, and even though it was not a single long beep it was continuous beep. Drove me nuts.

Please see HP Notebook PCs - Computer beeps or a light blinks during startup.
Moving the topic because this is a hardware issue and not an issue with Sound on Linux Mint.

Re: One long beep
I do believe it was a stuck key, As I was able to replecate the BEEEEEEEEEEP by holding the any key down while starting the computer.
