    What form are the beeps taking? Long and continuous or repeated beeps?

    Check RAM & CPU fitted correctly.

    Open unit, check to see if fan over Cpu is working. Try reseting the BIOS by either location the CMOS Reset or removing the back up battery from the motherboard for 5 mins. When Opening unit Leave plugged into wall, Dont power it up just plug into wall and touch any metal part of the casing to ground yourself while checking the parts.

    Could be any one of a number of components. Try and take note of the pattern of the beeps. ie : 2 short , 1 long. 3 short , 4 short

    Other than that, check to make sure Ram, hard drive, graphics card, processor are all seated correctly.
