[QUOTE="Lawry, post: 868739, member: 107709"] Thanks for the reply. I have yet to reseat the RAM as i have been away from the machine for the past week, however i just booted it for the first time since i've been back and there was the beep again. The beep does not seem to be in any sequence, its consistent and just keeps going, and like before it doesn't reach the apple logo. Its probably 2 beeps every second. I then held the power button and it turned the machine off. I powered it again and it then gave the same beep once, and then a lower pitched longer beep, and then booted fine. All beeps are definitely coming from the HDD area. (bottom left of the unit.) I will reseat the ram tomorrow and also check the brand of ram. [/QUOTE]
