Beep codes vary by the Bios manufacturer,so I would guess by it being constant you are probaly expierencing a memory or video card problem
Try taking out the memory in the first bank and see if this solves the problem,this should also apply to the video card by switching it out and using another card

Any type of hardware problem can cause this.
Power off the computer, take off the cover and remove, then reinsert each memory stick one at a time. Test power it back on without touching anything inside. If that works, then the memory was just slipping out and needed to be reinserted.
If it did nothing, then power off the computer and repeat the process with the video card and every other card inside the compuuter. Make sure all the connections (cables) to the drives are secure and then test again.
If it persists, you need to give us more information about type of hardware (make and manufacturer), bios, etc. If you have the booklet that come with your systemboard, it's beep codes specs would also be of help as well. Cuz ifyou know the long short beeps and can count and track the sequence of the beeps, then it should point to a particular problem. Check the manufacturer's website for beep codes as well.

The beeping is a warning by system that there is an error occuring with startup. These are Beep Codes.
Constant beeping can be a number of errors, such as memory or video or even CMOS errors.
In my past experience, I found the CMOS had to be reset. each computer manufacturer has it own particular way of resetting the CMOS. You should consult the motherboard users manual. If this occurance happens more than once it usually means the CMOS battery needs to be replaced.

some how this one gets overlooked even by people who should know better .
Take a look at you computers RESET switch , when this thing becomes damaged for one reason or another , you guessed it , constant beeping , sometimes you have too turn the pc on and off several times before it will boot into windows .
A loose memmory chip will beep around several times depending on bios , a bad reset switch just keeps going .
