Help!!!

My 3 year old imac will only boot to a gray screen with three beeps. This happened to me two years ago and a simple safe boot fixed the problem. This time however my wireless keyboard was dead and it won't connect now. I also tried a USB keyboard but the computer won't respond to that either. How can I safe boot the computer without a keyboard?

Thanks!!!

3 Beeps means your memory did not pass the POST. Take a look at this LINK which explains the beep codes for Mac computers.
