Win 10 update(maybe Creators)beeping for 3 hours No Display

CONFUSED195 · 14 Jun 2017

I tried to install available updates this morning-I think there were only 2 updates,but I think the Creators update may have been there also due to a message on my display earlier this morning saying that my restart would take longer than usual.When I restarted my desktop,there were messages saying that my PC would have to reboot several times-that was 3 hours ago-sometime after that it started beeping(6 beeps,2 seconds silence and keeps repeating that sequence.I lost my display at some point,so I have no screen info,and no keyboard response-the screen just says "no Signal".The fans are on,the power button is flashing on and off,the led that flashes when the disk is reading and writing is NOT flashing.
Should I just power it down and back up again and post my results?

That sounds like your BIOS POST (Power on self test) potentially indicating a hardware fault - maybe graphics card failure.

You need to know your BIOS type, then check here:

Thank you for the reply.The PC is back up and running with the Creator's update.I couldn't take the beeping after 8 hours and the only choice I had was to power it down.When I powered it back up it said it was 30% complete on the update and just kept going till it finished and rebooted.I'll run some maintenance programs tomorrow,but everything seems to be OK.

Good- I hope you're lucky with that..

Maintain a defensive strategy as all regular contributors here do. Routinely use disk imaging - e.g. Macrium Reflect (free) so you have a good chance of recovering from disk failure (restore to a new disk), ransomware, unbootable PC...
