The Dell user manual has the beep codes, which usually are in sequences with short pauses between. To figure out the problem one needs to know the spacing of the codes. Is it 1-2-3, or 2-2-2, or 3-1-2 or what? The first thing I would check is the RAM - make sure it is seated correctly, and try removing all but one stick.

Press F2 right after the Dell splash screen and the option shows up in the upper right corner of the screen.

You should call Dell for this purpose. They usually can mail you a recovery disc for free.

well YEAH! the cpu has overheated because the heatsink and/or fan over the cpu has to keep it cool. if it overheats(easily done), your system will stop and it won;t start if the fan does not spin. fix the fan/heatsink. it possilby could have killed the cpu too? not sure.

Open the box (unplugged) and take the memory out. Plug it back it, if you turn it on and there are no beeps, the motherboard has gone bad. Only fix is to replace the motherboard, or replace the whole computer. If it does beep, the memory is bad; replace the RAM (memory) While you have the computer open look at the little can like objects close to the back opening of the computer. If they have brown goo on top of them, or around them, or if the tops of some of them are dome shape, the motherboard is shot. This was a common problem with some of the OptiPlex units.
