6 Beeps on Startup - No Video Display
PC working fine yesterday, today it won't turn on.
All i get is 6 beeps on startup and no screen display.
On the back panel, the A and B lights are orange and C and D green.
This indicates RAM failure, however, reseating both RAM chips hasn't done anything.
Have tested the monitor, it works 100%.
Dimension 8400
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
I unplugged the desktop, pushed the power button to dissipate the internal charge.
Carefully unseated and firmly reseated the paired ram ensuring the side clams fully closed with their tabs sliding into the side notches on the ram, installed another pair of ram i bought for around 35 including shipping, took out the bios battery, plugged it back in and booted it, Viola!! it came back to life.
unplugged, discharged, popped in a new battery i plundered from an led ornament. closed the case, pluged back in, thank you thankyou, all is now well again, going to back everything up now

It happened again during the holidays, just when kids wanted to play some new games. It worked after I opened the case & looked for loose connections, even though I didn't find any. This IS a frustrating gremlin!
