Hi divot109 the answer is in the beeps. When you turn the computer on it performs a "POST" Power On Self Test, the system checks to see if everything is there, if not then it beeps a warning code to let you know something isn't right. For example if it goes beep, pause, beep, pause, beep.........and continues until you power it off again then the system is indicating that it did not find any memory during the POST. As suggested check that everything is seated correctly onto the motherboard, if that doesn't work let me know the beep pattern and I should be able to tell you where the fault is.

Hope that helps!
