Beeping on startup.

:emotion-6: I just got my computer I bought from my friend, (DELL XPS) and when I start it up it beeps 5 times. "Two high pitch short, waits a second, two lower pitch short, waits a second, one lower pitch beep. Following those beeps the computer asks me to do a start up repair or start windows normally. If I choose either one my screen goes black and I can't see anything on the screen. PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS FIXED FAST. If you have any questions just ask.  Thanks
