Three beeps is normally a memory problem.


Unplug the power cord, lay the tower on it's side (I assume you have a tower?) & take out ALL the RAM. Take the original stick & run a pencil eraser along both sides of the contact edge, then wipe it with rubbing alcohol. Make sure it's 100% dry before reinstalling it. Take a good close look at the memory slot & at the contact edge of the RAM...notice the 2 notches? Make sure they line up when you insert the RAM in the slot. Push down firmly until you hear it click in place & double check that the locking tabs on each end of the memory slot are fully locked in place. Plug in the power & try booting up.

thanx sir for ur reply, I followed ur instructions, I noticed that the RAM is not going in properly even after forcing it.Its tilted on one side and also the notch on the one side is closing only. I doubt it was always tilted like this. Is it normal to have one side slightly not inside the slot? Or i have to isert it somehow?
Plz guide sir thanx again for ur help
