This is normally a memory error. Turn off the computer, and open the side of the case. Pull and re-seat all memory chips. Turn power on, if it still beeps. Turn off power, pull all the memory chips and re-seat one only. Turn on power if it beeps againg, pull the chip out and try the other one. Repeat for all chips. If you find any that do not cause the beep issue, you have found your bad memory chip. If not, try the same one at a time memory test in a different slot on the computer. If no beeps, then its a bad slot and dont use that memory slot.
If none of this works; as unlikely as it seems you could have all bad memory chips, or a bad mother board.

In regards to the computer beeps 4 times this usually points to a memory problem. I would try to reset the memory in the system. Also I would try to boot the system with 1 stick if you have more then one stick as it could be just one of the sticks that are bad.
Let me know if you have any more problems or questions

Ok with that issue your hard drive is either not connected correctly or your hard drive has gone bad.

4 Beeps indicates a RAM memory failure. Disconnect power, press and hold the power button to release all power from the motherboard, then re-seat the Memory.
If error doesn't go away, try modules one at a time to find the bad one

just remove the ram and clean it gently with an eraser and the then install it back and check whether the problem arises or not.... good luck
