Initial Beep from Computer at Launch

Hi!

 

I've recently deconstructed and then assembled an old computer from 200-2004 (I think) and when I first plugged it in and started it up, I heard a short beep. I don't really know if thats a sign of a problem or not. After that I didn't start it up again, and I didn't see anything special on the screen except for the ''insert windows cd'' message.

 

So do you think that was a sign of a problem or some sort of an ''its all ok'' message?

 

Thank you

If it irritates you, you can often turn that off in BIOS. The pc is fine. Many pc's from that era would always beep upon POST.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

I believe that beep is the motherboard loading up the OS, always happens on my PC.
