My LG desktop computer won't boot.
It makes two short beeps, pause, and 6 consecutive beeps.

This is called a beep-code. It is a signal that something is wrong such as hardware failure or missing components (e.g. RAM). What, if anything, displays on screen when the beeping happens?
What the beeps mean differ depending on your BIOS. What make of BIOS is in your PC? It should be displayed at the top of the screen when it boots.
A list of different beep codes can be found here.
In the audio file it sounds like an older non-UEFI system. The first 2 beeps are your post beeps of the system initiating and the 6 consecutive beeps on a vast amount of pc's and laptops indicate a video card or chip failure.... which is actually what you confirmed this saying, "there is nothing displayed ...." In older systems, the POST initiates a "self test" which check voltages of hardware (like video) to make sure they are functioning correctly and then load a basic driver so that you can see what is happening during this process and enter 'Setup'. Most pc's that don't detect video or detect something wrong with the video circuit (ie:voltage) will not normally continue booting and will halt and throw the audible code out, providing there is an on-board speaker.
This would answer what you posted in this thread about......, even though there was no question.
In General: If you recently installed a graphics card just before this issue then there could be a compatibility issue or driver issue. Or, the on-board graphics chip or circuit could have malfunctioned and gone bad which could be fixed by installing a graphics card. But this is just generally speaking and your system not booting because of the graphics issue would be a different question based on more specifics about your system hardware, circumstances surrounding the the time period prior to the problem, ect.
