Beep Codes
Hi!
Got to know what model to be exactly sure. There are fault LEDs on the back of the machine and there is a speaker on the motherboard that produces the beeps as you already found. The fault LED codes for Dell desktops are fairly well documented and generally do a good job of explaining the problem. Beep codes only happen when the system can't get the video going for some reason. So a bad (cooked from heat most likely) video subsystem OR bad/loose memory is likely. There probably was no need to buy a new computer, unless your friend really wanted one... William
