DImension C521 Problems

I have the Dimension C521 and recently I can't access windows, or anything, at startup a black screen comes up saying  0 disk seek failure and I've tried re-installing the OS no help, a blue screen comes up with numbers on it. 

The desktop lights at the front have the number 3 and 4 on it. I do not know what the problem is, so hope you can help!!

And also it sounds like the fan is constantly on and it won't stop, it's not coming on!

xx34 diagnostic lights indicate a memory problem, open the case, remove and reinstall the memory modules and see if this makes a difference.

Also, check the colour of the power button LED, is it solid, or blinking?

See HERE

It's solid, I can't even see the screen of the computer. Nothing is happening, I turn it on, the fan is spinning so much, nonstop. if you can give me more information on removing & installing memory modules
