    I turned on my laptop one day and it went BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP quickly. It was really loud and it never stopped. I had to pull out the battery. I tried turning it on again and it did the same. After i unplug all the usb that was connected, it started up fine. Does anyone know why it does this? because its pretty embarrasing if it beeps in the library

    your laptop is trying to boot off your usb, you can disable that in your bios

    i'll explain a little more, in your bios there is a boot section, in that section you can disable bootable usb ect.
