ITS MY FIRST PC

My pc is beeping as I use it. And I have checked the American express site also about beep codes and I think that my processor has some issues.
It's a used product and the previous owner teach Linux and coding on these pc.


Full story
Got this pc a month ago and I installed it into other cabinet. I installed windows 10 on it the free version. And as I installed some apps at first all run well but after a day or two when I was installing other importent apps the pc crashed. And a blue screen appeared I some how reseted the pc and then again installed programs in it. But the same day at Nighy the pc crashed again and when I booted it beeps came I thought they were normal but the pc didn't boot. If any thing happen to pc in our area we simply think that window is crashed and we have to install new. Then after a month I reinstalled os in it everything was working fine till a day after 2 day when I installed steam on it it crashed a fatal error message came and I could not boot in,, a black screen with a cursor blinking appeared. I was terrified when it said could not read system files.
I attempted some trouble shooting and the pc booted but during this process many things occurred
The pc freezed once and I could not use the mouse and keyboard. Once the blue screen of death occurred. When it booted beeps came and some random stuffs happened but the pc booted. The pc is still having beeps while booting.
When I researched more, found that there are some chances my processor has some problems

But I could not come to a point
Whether my ram is bad
Whether my processor is bad
Whether my hardisk has issues
Or it's installation problem
Or over heating

I could not find out anything.
I want someone to help me in this and I need a continous support as IT'S MY FIRST PC.

Can you describe the beeps? Long beeps? Short beeps? How many?

There is no such thing. Where did you get it from? Microsoft web site?
Or some custom made pirated version?
the pc crashed. And a blue screen appeared
What blue screen? There is some diagnostic info on it.
Can you show a photo of it? (upload to imgur.com and post link)
a black screen with a cursor blinking appeared.
That could indicate problem with boot device (failed drive).
Or BIOS settings got reset (this can be caused by failed BIOS battery).
The pc freezed once and I could not use the mouse and keyboard.
Could be caused by overheating (failed cpu cooler).
Or ram errors.

The pc is still having beeps while booting.
Describe those beeps.
Or record them and share recorded audio.
Whether my ram is bad
Whether my processor is bad
Whether my hardisk has issues
Or it's installation problem
Or over heating
Could be all of them.
Bad cpu - less likely. But cpu overheating will give similar effect.

Beeps were short only they come when I boot
Sometimes 1 or 2

From Microsoft website the unpaid version.
In which the it ask about the always at the corner.

But these are some which my uncle took.
See them if they can help

I don't know much but when I see the temp of mobo in bios it says 40 to 42 degree.


How I check the cpu temp please tell

I haven't recorded till yet I used the pc for 10 to 20 min didn't heard a single beep while using.
(Only one beep at booting )
EDIT one more beep came
EDIT 2 after 30 mins the pc freezed as pressed sone keys and opened canva. The beeps continously came
Please listen this

I have the video also of the whole thing
I can provide that also

you saw black screen with blinking cursor, that points to harddisk

do you have another to try?
I have one but it has verry importent data.
And this one which I currently use is empty.

If there is a 0 data loss risk I can try

One beep - means everything is ok, all checks passed and system is ready to boot into OS.

Disk Read error means problem with storage device.
Run diagnostic on your drive. Use HDtune health (2.55 free version). Show screenshot.

You can use coretemp.
You can also use MSI afterburner.

Some videos of whats happening
When the pc freezed

After that

It was too big so I canceled

Now this loop came and I can't boot from it

This blue screen also came in between
Check, if drive is being detected in BIOS.
Check cpu temperature in BIOS.
Once it didn't detect but in 2nd time it detected
 
To check the basic functioning pf your pc,
Run memtest86 or memtest86+
They boot from a usb stick and do not use windows.
You can download them here:
If you can run a full pass with NO errors, your ram should be ok.

After loading windows explicitly load the drivers for your motherboard.
Windows may not have loaded the correct ones.
All except the AI suite which can complicate things and is not necessary.

I DO NOT recommend updating the bios on speculation.
A failed or interrupted flash can leave a nasty recovery problem.
But, there are many bios updates since the first when the motherboard was released.
The bios screen should tell you what your motherboard level is now.
The most current level is 4211:
Again, Do not flash without a good reason.

Since it seems that you may be having some HDD issues,
I really recommend that you spend some $35 for a 2.5" ssd.
It will make everything you do quicker.
Here is a 500gb samsung 870 EVO.
Yes, you can buy a cheaper ssd for $25 or so, but now you know that a reliable C drive is priceless.

Head collision

Sorry to say but I don't understand cam you explain

And in one part my phone fell so are you referring that a collision?

You can download them here:
I will try
Can we download these from phone and put it in the pendrive
Pendrive to be made bootable?

Sorry But its my first pc that's why

I will definitely do but in future or in a month please tell me some urgent step that I could make.

I have other hardisks also but they have priceless data so I have connected them yet .
If there is 0 data loss tension I can try.
Or I will get my friends drive.
Again, Do not flash without a good reason.
Please explain this
Check HDD cables (power and sata). Change them.
If that doesn't help, then replace the drive.

All signs point to drive being faulty.
Definately
This I can do as I have diff sata cables
All signs point to drive being faulty.
Thank GOD
Really if this is the problem I am more happy.

Please tell me more ways so that I make it more clear the drive is the culprit

I can bring the ram from a friend to check
But can my pc make ruin it?
Or put my earlier 2 gb ram in the pc
If it will die in the process then also no worry.

Or I do other things please tell

inside drive is head which writes/reads from/to platters, once head colides with platter and scratches it/head gets damaged, then it will do those beeping noises you hear from your pc, that beeping is from your hdd, which isnt supposed to beep unless damaged

Ya I had placed the phone on the hardisk column only for recording and the 90 to 95 % beep noises were from hardrive side.

I also want to tell that a my pc has some little rgb and it was also blinking along the beep as you have seen in one of my video.
