Hi dyuthisree,

The 8 beep error code indicates a display failure, connect an external monitor and check if the display works?

In addition run the “LCD Test”, follow the steps below.

Switch off the computer > Press and hold down the ‘D’ key on the keyboard and press the Power button > you will see different colors on the LCD screen. in case the issue persists please send me the system service tag or express service code through this private chat, I will see what best can be done.

Click on my username select start conversation and send me the details. 

Please refer to the link below where to locate the service tag or express service code.

The beep is heard when i first switch the lap on. Once i switch it on and off nearly 2 times it works fine. I ran the lcd test and  the diagnostic test but it did not display any errors. The colours flashed after the test but i am faced with the same problem yet again.
