Whenever I startt up my computer, I get the short quick beeps, ;he first two, high tones; the last one, a low tone. What could this possibly mean? Does anyone else have problems like this?

Usually on POST test there is just one beep which means everythings going good. Did this just happen recently?

I built my computer yesterday, and it started happening after I updated some drivers.

So everything works fine but the POST test is giving you these results. If you look in your motherboards manuel it tells you what the beeps mean. Sometimes different motherboards POST differently. If you can't find it can you tell use what you components are

3 beeps is not normal for any motherboard. your motherboard manual will tell you exactly what the problem is.

what this guy said, and if that doesn't work go to the manufacturers website and either ask online or call them to ask them to diagnose the problem
