Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS.

Beeps are motherboard related status/error codes.

The motherboard's User Manual/Guide should explain the beeps.

Listen carefully to the beep pattern. Likely a series of long and/or short beeps.

Post that information as well.

Go to the manufacturer's website.

You should be able to identify the applicable User Manual based on the motherboard and version thereof.

Download the applicable User Manual.

Look for the manual applicable to your motherboard and version.

Then look in that manual for the meaning of the 3 beep pattern.

Listen carefully.

I think 3 beeps might be related to a bad memory (Base 64K memory failure ). A memory failure might have occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC could be probably bad. Mostly system RAM causes this, IMO, though I'm not certain. Make sure the clamp at the end of the ram slot is out, press the ram stick in until it clicks. Do not manually press in the clamp until you hear the click.

Also, try to clear and reset all the CMOS/BIOS settings to default. 3 long beeps is usually the motherboard not detecting ram... Try to remove and reseat RAM modules to see if that helps..
