If you have your motherboard/computer manual look in there for a CMOS\Bios jumper. You set this to wipe your CMOS\BIOS and allow your computer to boot.
You probably won't be able to find it tho so....
1. Unplug your computer
2. Open computer case
3. remove CMOS battery
4. Wait a couple of secs......
5. plug in battery
6. plug in PC
7. leave case off for now!
8. Turn on PC.
If it still doesn't boot up, repeat procedure.

the long steady beep is usually a hardware failure somewhere like power. it would help to know what the equipment is.
in the old days we would put the battery back in BACKWARDS for 2 seconds. thats how u used to clear the cmos.
