    Hello.

    In addition to the configuration let it Author will let you know if any OC was taken, hardware replacement along the way, maybe uploading new drivers, updating the BIOS ...

    You have a model of this desktop described as
    Acer Veriton P130 (Intel Xeon + NVIDIA Quadro) link

    See what Bios you have (you should enter) and then by the manufacturer (AMI, AWARD) you will recognize what 2x beep means

    As far as I remember there was AMI.

    Here you can see the name of the disc link

    So it goes so that it comes to the moment of "Starting in progress ...", the BIOS beeps twice, the computer resets and the whole process goes all over again and so near Maciej? If so, it looks like something serious system error.

    Probably "hardware".
    Provide SMART Disk with bootable MHDD.
    Check if bootable linux works with pena. If yes = damaged soft / disk.

    and how to do it because I'm green

    And when I turn on the computer, something with repairs option pops up (recommended) and start the system normally, including repair hangs

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around a computer boot issue characterized by continuous BIOS beeps and a Windows starting loop. The user describes a system with an Intel Xeon processor, 4GB RAM, and an Acer Veriton desktop. Responses suggest checking the BIOS beep codes, which may indicate hardware issues, particularly with RAM. Recommendations include reseating or swapping RAM modules, performing a CMOS reset, and using diagnostic tools like MHDD to check the hard drive's health. The user also mentions encountering a repair option during boot, indicating potential software or disk damage. The conversation concludes with the user noting that the computer is under warranty.

FAQ

TL;DR: 2 BIOS beeps during boot usually point to RAM faults; "Take out one bone and try." Swap sticks, reset CMOS, run Memtest86+, or check the disk with UBCD/MHDD. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646639]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps DIY PC users quickly stop a Windows boot loop with BIOS beeps and isolate faulty RAM or storage.

Quick Facts

What do two BIOS beeps mean when Windows says "Starting Windows"?

Two short beeps typically indicate a memory error on AMI-based systems. Reseat the RAM, try one stick at a time, and reset CMOS between changes to clear training issues. If it still loops, proceed to memory testing and disk SMART checks before blaming Windows. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646639]

How do I stop the boot loop with two beeps on my desktop?

Start with RAM. Power off, remove one stick, and boot with the other. Swap slots and sticks. After each change, reset CMOS via the jumper. Then run Memtest86+ from USB. If RAM passes, check disk SMART with MHDD from UBCD. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646639]

How do I run Memtest86+ from a USB stick?

  1. Download the Memtest86+ USB installer referenced in the thread and create a bootable USB.
  2. Boot from USB and let Memtest86+ run at least one full pass.
  3. Replace any module that throws errors; test each stick individually to confirm. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646639]

How can I check my hard drive’s SMART without booting Windows?

Create a UBCD boot USB, start the PC from it, and launch MHDD. Select your drive and read SMART (F8). If you see reallocated or pending sectors, back up and replace the drive. This isolates disk faults before OS loads. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16646668]

Is this a software or hardware problem?

The thread’s triage points to hardware. As one expert put it, "Probably 'hardware'." RAM faults or a failing disk can trigger beeps and loops before Windows fully loads. Confirm with Memtest86+ and MHDD before attempting OS repairs. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646645]

Startup Repair hangs—what does that tell me?

If Windows’ automatic repair stalls, suspect underlying hardware. In the thread, Startup Repair hung repeatedly, strengthening the case for RAM or disk issues instead of pure software corruption. Test memory and check disk health next. [Elektroda, xDominocPvP1337, post #16646646]

Which BIOS is on Acer Veriton, and how do I match beep codes?

The helper advised checking BIOS vendor in Setup; Acer Veriton models here were associated with AMI. Once confirmed, use AMI’s two-beep mapping to focus on RAM. This avoids chasing unrelated causes. [Elektroda, lisek, post #16646630]

What configuration was the problem PC using?

Intel Xeon 4×2.50 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB drive, Windows 7 Pro 64‑bit, Acer Veriton with Pegatron IPM31 board, Radeon HD GPU, and HIPRO 250 W PSU. These specs help target RAM and PSU checks first. [Elektroda, xDominocPvP1337, post #16646617]

Could shipping damage cause the symptoms?

Yes. The unit arrived with a broken power button. Physical stress can loosen modules or damage traces, leading to intermittent POST beeps and boot loops. Document damage, reseat components, and pursue warranty if issues persist. [Elektroda, xDominocPvP1337, post #16646625]

What should I do if a live Linux USB boots fine?

If a live Linux session runs stably, your hardware is likely OK, and the Windows install or drive filesystem may be the issue. Back up data and consider a clean reinstall after checking SMART. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646645]

What is MHDD?

MHDD is a low-level disk diagnostic that reads SMART and scans for slow or bad sectors outside Windows. Run it from UBCD to avoid OS interference and to assess drive health before reinstalling. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646645]

What is Memtest86+?

Memtest86+ is a bootable memory testing utility. It stresses RAM outside the OS to reveal errors. “Take out one bone and try” pairs with Memtest to isolate a bad module or slot with confidence. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646639]

What is a CMOS reset and when should I do it?

A CMOS reset clears stored BIOS settings. Use the motherboard jumper after each RAM change to retrain memory settings and eliminate corrupted NVRAM as a cause of repeated beeps. [Elektroda, safbot1st, post #16646639]

What ultimately fixed the issue in this thread?

The owner ended the thread after sending the PC under warranty. RMA was the final route once basic RAM and disk checks were advised and symptoms persisted. [Elektroda, xDominocPvP1337, post #16654187]
