RAM problem - URGENT

[Andrew E.]

The beeps are a warning to the user,the code one needs
to go to a web site that has them listed,im pretty sure
that most machines use the same ones.More than likely
its a hardware failure,if one of the chips got burned,
(that takes alot to do)take the machine to a computer
service center before more damage is done.It could be
the memory card was bad from the factory,you might look
into an adjustment toward repairs from them.
