Why does my computer beep and won't start?
I got into a rather interesting situation:
I had to replace the hard drive with a new one.
Turned on the computer (as soon as they brought it), writes: "no boot disk ...".
I opened the system unit, I see the wires are not connected to the old hard drive, I decided to check the connection, turned it on - the system unit began to beep: 5 times (by a second, short beeps), then a break for two seconds, and again 5 times by a second. And so 5 times. And that's it, the system manager hums, but the monitor does not work, nothing happens.
He spat, went for a new hard drive, arrived, connected - everything is ok, but writes: "no boot disk ...". I realized that this is due to uninstalled Windows. Corrected the situation, installed the seven - everything is ok.
Then the demons beguiled (lol), I decided to re-insert the old HDD and check it with Victoria through the LiveCD. Inserted and the computer, damn it, began to squeak again. Spat.
I insert a new HDD, and the computer, DAMN, still beeps . With new HD. Happy New Carl!
After searching the internet, I found information about the BIOS , but fir-trees, there is no indication of an error anywhere, when the computer beeps 5 times, then a break of 2 seconds, and again 5 times, and so the cycle 5 times.
Loops like checked everything, everything sits tight. Comp: HP pavilion, railway - seagate. What can be wrong?

try to pull the memory sticks, HP has its own BIOS signals.
If HP, then he often swears at hard. Well, he doesn't like the disk, he wants to check it, for example (with built-in tools). Or protection in the BIOS is to use other hard ones. When trying to load with a new known-good hard drive, I would pierce the memory strips (poke deeper if you don’t know how to pull it out. If you know how to pull it out, then pull it out and insert it back one by one or into other slots). Sometimes it's really worth changing the cables (or at least plugging them into other outputs on the mother) - be careful, HP likes to use clip-on cables, and when they use brute force, they tear off the satash G on the hard ones. If after turning on the monitor there is still some kind of info, then, most likely, HP wants to make changes to the BIOS or simply press the magic ENIKEY button (just kidding, of course, F1). If it beeps
