I have recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 1750 (Vista Premium) that came with a Windows 7 upgrade

now having installed the windows 7 upgrade, every time I go to start it up/boot it up
I get a rather load bleeping noise (about 7-8 bleeps)
can any one shed any light on whats happened, whats wrong, what can I do to fix it/stop the annoying bleeping noise

any advice/tips would be appreciated, thanks

How far does it get through booting - is there anything displayed on the screen?

Thanks,

its usually a black screen asking/telling you to choose what option to use
there's 2/3 options to choose from memory

will go and log on to that laptop and report back shortly (I'm on the wifes notebook at present)

after I start up laptop, after a short while, there's 6-8 load bleeps
then I I get a black screen, headed as Windows Boot Manager

underneath this is the copy
Choose an operating system to start, or press Tab to select

Options

Windows 7

to specify an advanced option for this option choice, press F8

Tools:
Windows Memory Diagnostic

Enter=Choose
Tab= Menu
ESC= Cancel

hope you can understand this

And what happens if you select Windows 7

it logs straight into windows 7, with no problems

however next time I reboot/restart

the annoying bleeps, then the black screen returns :mad::mad::mad:

care to explain the comment above, thanks

No guarantees, but you could try this:
In windows 7, Start >all progams >accesories >run
Type msconfig and press enter
Select the Boot tab

If Windows 7 is not the default, highlight it and click "set default"
Is anything else in there?
You could also set the timeout to 0
Apply

Try a restart and see what happens
