I am having a major problem with my desktop computer Yesterday My desktop computer crashed I had the Blue screen of Death saying that the physical memory dumped and now when I turn on the computer it makes a Beeping noise and nothing comes on the screen . I feel Upset because my desktop was my favorite computer and because I have no job I have no money to buy a new computer I have no money to take the computer to a computer repair shop . I would like a good Used working desktop Computer that works with all the installation Cds that came with it all I need is the tower part I have the monitor. Please message me if you can help because before my desktop crashed my desktop was my favorite computer and it would mean a lot to me to have a good used working desktop computer. I have tried frececycle and freecycle is no good because you have to drive to pick up the item you want and I do not drive at all.

I have a Dell computer series Dimension 3000 the beeps have been long beeps and when I turn on the machine there is no screen no no home page nothing at all.

How many beeps?
What color is the power button LED and is it permanently lit or blinking?

Your computer has four diagnostic lights on the back of the case (ABCD) which help with troubleshooting, A is to the left and D furthest to the right, they are not numbered this is just how they are identified, what sequence of LEDs is lit up.

Removing the Ram, blowing out the slots and reseating the Ram securely often helps, to help you do this safely http://www.crucial.c...stall/dimm.aspx

There is 7 beeps . there is no led light at all.

[phillpower2]

7 beeps = "a fatal exception error" there are many things that can cause this including bad memory so try what I suggested earlier in removing the Ram and blowing out the slots then reseat the Ram securely.

No LED being lit points towards a possible power failure can you confirm that the LED normally lights up.

What are the diagnostic LEDS on the back of the case showing.
