Thank you for the tips, but the beeping is generated by the motherboard and not the operating system. The other thing is that the beeps alter with different BIOS types.

All the same, thank you for the effort.

Arrizx he is wrong. The beep codes depend on the bios and the board they're on.
There is no one set of beep codes for all systems.
Handing out bad info is as bad as not having any.
