It sounds like hardware failure, particularly if "bip" really means "beep".
It could be overheating, bad RAM, or something else. Here are general
hardware troubleshooting steps:

Testing hardware failures often involves swapping out suspected parts with
known-good parts. If you can't do the testing yourself and/or are
uncomfortable opening your computer, take the machine to a professional
computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigStoreUSA).

Actually, the long "beeeeep" is good information. The beeps are audible
codes from your motherboard which are trying to tell you about hardware
failure. Beep codes are specific to different motherboards, so you can
Google "beep code + name-of-your-motherboard" or look in your manual.

I'm going to guess overheating, but you should find out for sure.
