Dell inspiron 5520 beeps when started and shuts down.
My dell inspiron 5520 beeps when I turn it on. It is a series of 4 beeps, 4 beeps and 3 beeps. It shut's down when it's on the battery. When I have it on the mains power after the first three series of beeps it shuts down but 15 seconds later it reboots and continues the beeping, this time it is 4 beeps, 4 beeps, 4 beeps constantly until I turn off the mains supply.
They are short beeps, lasting for 2 seconds for the 4 beeps. The gap between the series of beeps is also 2 seconds. Recently it has been left in a room that has no heating and it has been quite cold lately, if that has any effect on it.

Unplug the system, remove the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec. Remove and reinstall both memory modules and power up - if that doesn't solve the problem, try each module one at a time in each socket until you isolate the bad memory module (replace it) or the bad socket (which means a mainboard replacement will be required).
