Solution
I agree, badly seated or failed RAM is the most likely suspect. If you suspect faulty RAM you can test it (after making sure it's properly seated) with Memtest86. You'll need to make a bootable CD from the downloaded ISO file, then boot your PC from it. Memtest will start automatically: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

Hi, I was using dban to clean my hard drive .At first i was getting a short single beep constantly, and after a while it changed to a longer single beep, that's when i shut it down manually an has not done anything since. I appreciate you reply and hope you can help me further..eagle12
