Why Acer alarm beep upon startup every time?

What is the exact alarm that you are referring to? Do you mean computer beeps? If it is, it’s a normal series of beeps that you can hear when your laptop has a hardware failure upon start-up. The normal process is you will hear a beep during POST. As an instruction, kindly turn your computer on and listen to the number of beeps that you can hear. Take down the sequence and number of beeps during POST and then get back here and let us know your findings so we can help you. Or you can also check on the BIOS settings and check which alarm is sounding.
