That particular error message could mean either bad ram or bad drivers. Did you add any hardware lately or update any drivers?

Again, are the drivers up to date? Have you ran a memtest program to test your ram?

If you have AMI BIOS (check to make sure)..
2 Short Beeps Your computer has memory problems. First check video. If video is working, you'll see an error message. If not, you have a parity error in your first 64K of memory. First check your SIMM's. Reseat them and reboot. If this doesn't do it, the memory chips may be bad. You can try switching the first and second banks memory chips. First banks are the memory banks that your CPU finds its first 64K of base memory in. You'll need to consult your manual to see which bank is first. If all your memory tests good, you probably need to buy another motherboard.
3 Short Beeps Basically the same thing as 2 beeps. Follow that diagnosis above

This could be a problem with GDI+ which was fixed with later updates. Make sure you are fully updated to SP2 and beyond.
