Hey there, I have a laptop that suddenly will not boot up any more. I get a continuous beep code at the hp invent splash screen, then it goes blank with the continuous beeping. I can not access set up either. Some research has told me that this might be a beep code for a memory failure. Problem is that I am not a computer technician that has all sort of parts to swap out to trouble shoot the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated on what I could do to get this computer running again.

Thanks,
Matt

Borrow a friends laptop and ask to be able to swap memory to check the problem. If it is then buy you some new memory and replace the bad.
