I have a MacBook, and when I turn it on, it turns on fine, but then it begins to get glichy and then the LCD freezes, and sometimes a beeping sound comes out of the computer. Any ideas?
Is this a good question?

The beep codes were revised in October 1999, and have been the same since. In addition, on some models, the power LED would flash in cadence.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

that sounds like a cooked(overheated) graphics card or a bad/dusty connection. this can't be a driver problem if it beeps at the time you first push the power button to the windows loading screen.

I hope he is not getting the windows screen on his MacBook and nowhere did anyone suggest that it was a driver issue.

This means it is coming off the BGA and all you have to do is reflow it and clean the heatsinks
*tip from me i give doing this*
Get AS5 thermal paste
I do not know what you have so i can't give you a guide but i can give you a guide on how to apply thermal paste
This is all i can give you without your model Macbook

is there a pattern to the beeps that repeats?

Do the colors get scrambled? What are the last three letters of your serial number?
