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? Google is your friend www.google.com ----------------------- Have a GREAT day!

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 www.google.com ----------------------- Have a GREAT day!

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. Google is your friend www.google.com ----------------------- Have a GREAT day!
