HP D 60 beeping

[Donnalee]

I have attempted to upgrade an HP D60.
RAM, Hard drive, hard drive caddy, battery, screen, new Windows 8 install, it boots up good and seems to run smoothly.
The only problem is after I turn it on, it beeps loudly.
Can't tell much by the number of beeps though.
Sometimes it's several beeps, sometimes it's just one long beep
I thought maybe it was the cooling fan, so I have it on a six fan cooling tray
That doesn't help.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Did it beep before hand? This is probably a ram issue. Remove them and try reinserting them, might have a bad stick though. Try one at a time if you have 2 sticks.

It didn't do anything before, it had no hard drive or caddy and no OS.
Removed RAM and reinstalled it.
Will try it with just one stick and see what happens.
Thank you.

Laptop operated smoothly, however still beeps on start up.
I am afraid it may be the cooling f

Are you sure its not a G60 instead of a D60?

 

[Donnalee]

Sorry, you are correct, it's a G 60, the D 60 is an old Dell.
My bad.

Thought so. Just Google search cooling fan replacement g60 for YouTube and you'll see one.

For example

It's a 2 part and you'll get a link for second part when the the first is done

I have a can of air. Do you think it would be ok if I blow out the cooling fan?

Just don't let the fan blow too fast or you can just hold it in place.
