    .Continuous Beeping Sounds On startup. XPS 630i


    Ive had this computer for a while now, (since 2009) and it has been very good. the only problem ive had was that one of the video cards died. that was fine. The PC was working fine last night, wake up to find the screen was black. but the monitor was still receiving a signal. i guess the signal WAS black. but i restarted the computer, and come to find intermittent beeps, coming from the motherboard. it sounded like RAM issue, so i cleaned the contacts and put them back in, but no luck. after taking the ram out, (just to see if it would make the same sound without the RAM) it made a quicker beeping sound than before. i think its bad RAM, i just want to be sure. can someone help?

    Look at the beep codes chart and try to closely match the number of beeps...

    I don't have a number. It's infinite. K
    Kept going for 15 mins, then I just shut it off.

    Beep codes are like Morse code - a series of long and short beeps. Listen closely and see if you can determine a repeating pattern.
    If it is just a continuous series of short beeps that would be good to know.
