Question about PC Desktops
Memory is where the computer actually does most of it's work. Here is an analogy I use to explain it.
Memory for a computer is the workspace where things get done, similiar to the top of your desk. When you are looking at several documents and taking notes, you spread them out on the desk where you can see them and work with them. In a computer, then memory is where files are opened and worked on.
The hard drive of a computer is similiar to a filing cabinet, it is where files are stored until they are needed.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the Brain of the computer (Where all the thought processes go on)
Physically, Memory modules in current computers are on circuit boards about the size of a 6 inch ruler, and the capacity of these modules can vary from 128 Megabyte to 16 Gigabyte

Computer RAM (memory) related issue.
Some of the below steps recommend removing physical parts within the computer. While in the computer it is highly recommend that you be aware of ESD and its potential hazards. Information about ESD and proper grounding techniques are found on our ESD help page.
Remove added memory
If you've recently added or tried to add additional memory to the computer and have started getting these beeps. Remove all new memory you've added to the computer. If the computer works fine after removing the new memory you're encountering either an incompatibility or defective new memory.
Open computer and reseat memory
Sometimes when the computer is moved or over time a memory stick can become loose causing the computer to be unable to read the memory or get errors as it's reading it. Try fixing this issue by opening the computer removing each of the memory sticks you have in the computer and then placing them back into the computer.
Swap memory location
If reseating the memory did not resolve the issue try swapping the location of the memory. If you have only one stick of memory in the computer try moving it to another slot and then boot the computer.
If you have more than one stick of memory try removing all but one stick of memory and boot the computer. If this does not resolve the issue try removing that stick of memory and try one of the other sticks of memory.
Try another computers memory
If you have access to another computer that uses the same memory, try using its known good memory in your computer.
If another computers memory works you know that you have bad memory. If another computers memory does not work and it is compatible with your computer unfortunately your motherboard or the slots on the motherboard are defective causing it to be unable to properly read the memory, which means the motherboard will have to be replaced.
If it is determined the memory in the computer is bad we suggest that you replace it.
