You're welcome. 

I just read an article that that error is typical for RAM sticks which
are not working correctly. Specifically, contact problems. They advise to
take them out and re-insert them (personally I used to clean the
connectors with an eraser). Also check if other cards could be loose.

The continuous beeping (and missing video) _is_ indication that the BIOS
can't even find the first section of the RAM it needs to start. Beeping
is also a fair indication the problem is not with your hard disk.
