I reinstalled and updated the bios, I reloaded windows........still get constant beeps as soon as boot-up starts.
On HP bios' this could mean a H/W issue, which I am not ruling out, except I reset the memory, verified keyboard and other functionality, and there are no issues running anything on the PC.
What I hear as soon as boot starts, it's like the HDD parks itself. We're all used to the sounds made at boot up, and this is definitely different action, and its also what happened 7-ish years ago when i uninstalled BT on a different PC. That time, just shotgunning solutions eventually made it OK. However, I don't know if the HDD behavior is because of an unrelated error or because of a command left over by BT or even a setting I made in BT. I have a RAID-0 drive, 2x500gb.
Any ideas on how to investigate the HDD?
