I have a HP Model xw4300 Workstation running Windows XP which has been running fine the last time it was used. When I attempted to boot it up I got no lights on the keyboard or the monitor and the computer sounded patterns of 6 beeps then a pause followed by 6 more beeps. This continued for about 5 groups of 6 beeps and then the beeping stopped but the red light on the front of the computer continued to flash in the same pattern. I have tried removing pairs of Ram sticks and rotating them, there are 4 sticks of ram to give 2GB, to no avail. I have tried another power supply but that had no effect. I get nothing on the screen when I boot it which tells me that the BIOS is not working. I have replaced the on-board battery as it is years old and may be flat. Nothing I have done has made one bit of difference. I need this computer as my professional Canon camera will not talk to Windows 7 on my current computer regardless of me downloading what are supposed to be update drivers. Where do I go from here?
