PC startup BIOS beep problem, PC stuck at boot

Solved
maniblake -  
I turned my laptop back on (COMPAQ PRESARIO CQ70) which had been off for many hours and it didn’t want to start and it emitted a continuous very, very loud beep, really forcing me to turn it off because it hurts my ears. It’s the first time it’s done that. I managed to restart after 3 tries, so I’m afraid to turn it off and it won’t start again at all. Does anyone have any idea about this problem? thanks

      I’m wondering if you could even call that a beep, anyway it’s really strong and it doesn’t stop

      According to the list:

      Long, recurring beeps:
      Problems with poorly installed memory (AWARD BIOS) which likely means it comes from the hard drive and could potentially result from a shock if the PC fell to the ground

      Short, high-pitched, recurring beeps:
      The CPU temperature is too high. It means you should better ventilate your PC
