Hi, usual PC diagnostics apply;
Not sure if this applies to Vaio's, but try
reseat the memory DIMMs, open the case and find the two memory cards. Pull them out carefully and insert them again. Do a google to lookup instructions if you've never done this.
hold down F12 as it fires up from cold. This should allow you to select bootup device. Perhaps it's trying to boot from a CD-ROM?
hold down F8 as it fires up, to attempt a safe mode boot up.
not sure how the wireless keyboard syncs with the Vaio, but if a key is held down on a conventional keyboard, then it will cause repetitive beeps at bootup. Turn the keyboard off whilst it boots. Check no keys are pressed down. Sometimes keys can get stuck down, so hit each key to make sure it springs back up again.
What did you change on the box recently? Perhaps back-out any changes, and try safe mode until all backed out, then try a conventional boot (without holding F8.
If this doesn't work then it sounds like it's hardware related. 😞

. What's the problem?
