Hi,
My computer has started making 3 beeps on start up and no video comes up on the screen and the keyboard and mouse dont have power. This has been happening for a while now but i normally just restart it and it works fine. Tonight i was using my computer and it crashed and got blue screened. I restarted it and got the 3 beeps at the start. Tried to restart it again and the same thing. I tried like 10 times and still got the 3 beeps and nothing else. I have searched up the problem and was told to remove the ram sticks. I tired doing this; removing 1 stick, removing the other stick, removing both sticks,, and i still get the 3 beeps on start up and nothing else. What can i do to fix this? I really need to because i have heaps of assignments due soon.
P.S bit of a computer dummie so easy to understand words etc would be helpful. Thanks.
Solved 3 Beeps On Startup

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.
