I have yet to see a PC BIOS that does not do this.... It is the way that the motherboard communicates a problem when the problem prevents normal communication (like text on the screen). It could be as simple as a mis-seated memory stick, or as serious as a damaged interface chip. The newer Dell's 'beep' when they see a non-Dell keyboard attached, even though the keybord works fine! Since you don't hear anything, then there is no problem to report.

I have two WinXP PC's (Compaq and eMachines), which don't sound out
beep codes. Is this an option or are they just turned off? Are beep
codes no longer needed?
