hi Adzy

Just to get clear exactly when, what is happening:
After you power-on your machine:
- does the beeping start at once, or does it take a few seconds / 10-15 seconds / half a minute / etc?
- does the screen show anything at any moment, does it stay black like the machine is turned off, or does it sort of light up, but still not showing anything?
- did you have any problems with the machine before this?

Sounds like a problem with a piece of hardware - usually the mainboard or graphics card.
On a desktop, you might have been able to try and isolate what piece of hardware is the problem, but with a notebook, not much you can do but get it to a servicecenter
