Hi Jimmycaps,
CAn you tell me the manufacturer of you BIOS if you know it (Pheonix or Award in most cases), the numbers of beeps and their nature (long or short beep).

Unfortunately, I do not know who makes the BIOS. The beeps are long in nature and last about 1 second and come every 2-3 seconds. They don't stop.
From what I read on other forums for HPs, it normally signals a RAM problem. What I can't understand is why I could get it to work with one of the two 1GB RAM sticks and then 24 hours later, I'm back to the beeps.
I have bought another 1GB of RAM that is in the mail currently, but I'm afraid that the computer will ruin that RAM.
Thanks for your help.

Let me know if the problem still exist!

It then worked for 24 hours, then froze, and when restarting, the computer started beeping again.
I tried to take it out again and it didn't work.
Thanks
