    Beep codes depend on the BIOS type but that sounds like an AMI Bios

    3 Beeps: Base 64K RAM failure

    Explanation: There is a failure of some sort within the first 64 KB of system memory.

    Diagnosis: The first bank of memory probably has a bad memory chip in it somewhere. It is possible that there is a failure related to the motherboard or a system device as well.

    Recommendation:

    * Treat as an apparent memory failure.
    * Troubleshoot the motherboard.
