Hi I have an old AJP 3420 Laptop (P3 750 & Celeron 600, 440BX chipset, ATi Rage LT pro AGP 2x), which had slowed down to a crawl running Windows XP on 128mb of RAM, so I decided to try reinstalling but the install failed and I can no longer get past the initial screen (where you can choose to enter setup) as it beeps three times and seizes up. I thought it might be memory so I got another 128mb from Crucial and popped it in but it still beeps three times and hangs, it won't allow me to enter setup, or the boot screen so I am stuck as to what to do next
