I have a three and a half page list of links for BIOS beep codes for Dell, but I need to know your model number (i.e. Dimension 4200).

Post it, and I'll pull up the codes.
 
Mine beeped after i put a faulty ram chip in it.....it done the exact same....but mines a custom built PC
 
try cleaning your ram with an eraser.... erase the part that is connecting the ram to its slot... usually black things(dirt) build up on this part....
the three beeps may mean error in your ram
beacuse the beep code for a faulty video card is one long and three short.. hope this helps
