My PowerMac G4 beeps 'x' times on startup - what's wrong

by  nrb501  Posted    (Edited  )
One beep means that no RAM is installed or detected.

Two beeps means that incompatible RAM types may be installed.

Three beeps means that no RAM banks passed memory testing.

Four or five beeps means that the ROM is probably bad and cannot
be fixed.
