System 'beeping' on boot up

When I reboot my system beeps and hangs until I press one of the 'F' buttons
(1 to 12)

When it finally boots I am left with strange noises and any text box I try
to fill in, such as a search engine box, are filled with a series of 4's
(444444444444444)

Any help would be appreciated


I am using The latest version of Windows XP

Try a different keyboard. If you don't have one handy try to boot into
bios setup and set to not detect a keyboard, then try to boot. If the
beeps go away, get anoterh keyboard and see if it works.

Click to expand...

Another possibility could be just a sticking key... Check to see if
one of the '4' keys looks to be stuck down... If so, try pressing on
it a bit to see if it frees itself.
