I used my computer and turned it off. When I came BACK it turns on and gives 6 long beeps. There is no signal on monitor. USB outputs don't react. Fans work. Can open cd drive. how do i fix it. Welcome to the CH forums.

First you have to give some details of your pc. PLEASE read this..

Go here and follow the instructions. You may just have a defective keyboard..

thanks but unplugging the keyboard didn't work-what can i try now What you can do is provide info on your pc as requested.

I found this but the beep codes don't match your description: http://www.techbase.iofm.net/tips/applemac/tip1.htm

Sorry, can offer no further assistance if you fail to answer questions.it's a Microsoft XP computer to the latest UPDATE (not my mac this time soz) i don't have any antivirus on it but its not connected to the internet so it shouldn't matter. its got a 2.66ghz processor and a nvidia geforce 5600(or something in the 5000's). my XP edition is the HOME one. soz that's all i know and sorry for not listening to your instructions. PS i tried switching keyboards and that didn't work Microsoft does not build computers...
DLoad and install Everest Home...
Run the Computer summary scan and save it to a text file...
Copy and PASTE it here.It is possible you have some bad diodes, or something is wrong with your hardware. The beeps are to notify you of the problem.
