Beeping computer
My computer froze and now will not start. It emits 5 beeps and the screen remains black.
Any ideas?

Unplug the system, remove or disconnect the battery and hold the power button for 30 sec. Remove the reserve (CMOS) battery and replace it with a new one (if you need details, we'll need to know what system model you have -- i.e., Inspiron N5110, 5521, etc.).
Then power up and see if the error clears -- if not, replace the mainboard with a new one.
