Two beeps is an error for memory issues. Remove and reseat your ram modules. IF still getting the beeps, try booting with just one module in slot #1. boot and listen for beeps. Repeat with other module. If neiter works suggest replace the ram. If only one is good, while you can just get one stick I would still recommend replacing both.

That worked. One of the chips wasnt seated all the way forsome reason and I missed it. Its amazing how the simple things can save you money.

Thank you so much for the help!!!!
