If the beeps are coming from the motherboard, it's hardware related. If the beeps are coming through the speakers, it's probably software doing it.
If you provide us with the details of your system, we might be able to tell you what the beeps mean, assuming they're coming from the motherboard.
What make/model of computer? And, if you can find it, the make/model of the motherboard?

Is the obvious thing here. If the system will not even power on every time you press the On Button the PS is bad.
The 6 Beeps will be in some sort of series of Short/Long Beeps that will be saying something isn't present and the most likely thing here is that that part of the M'Board isn't getting any power so that bit isn't working.
The down side here is if they have a cheap nasty PS what took it out may have continued through to the M'Board and damaged that as well. But no matter what else you need to test with a Known Good PS to see what damage if any has been done.

Do you mean beeps when the PC is booting up?
Need to know the BIOS type if so, this will tell you what is failing the POST.
Seem to recall six straight beeps is keyboard controller on older BIOS? Check your motherboard documentation to confirm
could be new Mobo or just plug the keyboard back in?
cheers
