Thank you Whyzman for welcoming me. Please help with my problem

An initial beeping when you attempt to boot up usually means that your RAM or your VIDEO card are not seated properly into the slots...

You would want to check your RAM stick carefully and make sure that it is all the way into the slot...

Secondly, are you sure that this is the RAM that your board requires??

If you'd give us the specs we can do a little homework or head you in the right direction...

What motherboard are you using in your rig and what does the RAM stick say on it??

Are you saying you have a Pentium III (3) or a Pentium at 111Mhz?? The more you can tell us about your computer, the more likely we can help. Reseating the RAM is probably the main thing at this point though...
