    Post this at desktop review and call support, the number, order and length of the beeps means something and hp support knows what.

    @ qhn ,, i was really hoping it wasn't something of that nature but thanks for your input. I replaced the ram & HD and still the same thing. but a strange thing is that when i disconnect the DVD drive , the beep stops but the pc still doesnt boots up. really dont know what to do now.
