Why does my computer make a loud beeping noise when it starts?
When I turn on my computer it does a series of beeps before Windows loads. Usually it's one short beep but this morning it did several long beeps and wouldn't start up. What do the beep codes mean? Is my computer trying to tell me something is broken? How do I find out what the beeps mean for my motherboard?

Definitely back up your important files before trying any fixes. I learned this the hard way when I lost 3 years of photos trying to fix a simple problem. Get an external hard drive or burn DVDs of your important stuff first.

The best resource for this kind of thing is Tom's Hardware forums. Someone has almost certainly had your exact problem and posted a solution. The community there is really knowledgeable and helpful.
I'd recommend trying the free solution first before spending money. Nine times out of ten, the free option works just as well as the paid one. Only upgrade to paid software if the free version doesn't meet your needs.
