This is a problem with your memory.
During POST, the computer checks the computer's memory, determines the amount of installed memory, and then writes to and reads from the number of available bytes to ensure proper operation.
Basic Checks:
If the problem still exists after you complete the basic checks, fill out the Diagnostic Checklist as you perform the following steps.
CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, see "Safety Information."
Does the RAM count displayed correctly match the actual amount of memory installed in the computer?
Yes. The computer needed to update the memory count. The problem is resolved.
No. Go to step 2.
Did any of the diagnostics tests fail?
Yes. Contact Dell for technical assistance.
No. Go to step 3.
Does the RAM count displayed correctly match the actual amount of memory installed in the computer?
Yes. The memory module(s) were defective. The problem is resolved.
No. Contact Dell for technical assistance.

That beep code indicates memory is not being properly identified or used. Try removing memory and testing with one module at a time until you find the one module or slot that is causing the trouble.

Dageezer is correct. I had the exact same problem. I unplugged the computer, discharged the power by pressing the power button a few times, and then opened the case. I removed one of the memory cards and tried again. This time is started to power up. I then discharged the unit again and re-seated the memory card I took out. Turned on the power again and now everything works. Not sure why it stopped working to begin with, since I haven't had any problems in over 2 years, but now it's OK (for now). Thanks.
