HP Compaq DX 2300 cant start, gives long beeps
You need to tell us the pattern of the beeps. Check the above list to see which pattern matches: http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcode...
Did the PC show any symptoms prior to starting to give beeps?

Its just one long beep continuously repeating between spaces of 2-3 seconds. The beep itself lasts for about 1-2 seconds each.
Looks like RAM problem to me. If you have more than one RAM module, try to boot with each module separately. Google is your friend

Wow!!! that did it!!! i've placed the RAM chips on different slots and its now working. thanks.
I am glad to see you sorted it out. :-) Just to say, if you have a motherboard which uses two sets of slots, one for dual channel and one for single; make sure you insert the modules in the dual channel slots.
