iMac sounds the alarm!

Hey everybody!

A couple of days ago my imac 24" has been sounding a alarm before starting. I have to try starting it maby 3 times then it works like a charm.

The sceen is lightblue and the alarm is 3 loud beeps that make you think its having a meltdown , then suddenly it starts.

Does anyone know whats it is , the mac is only 6 months old.

Thx

Sounds like it could be a RAM problem.

But since you're still under warranty, give Apple Care a call pronto. This isn't good or normal.

That sound is heartbreaking. I feel for you!
