Memory is not seated properly. If you installed new RAM, take it out. If not, just take it out and put it back. If this doesn't work, post back the post code description.
i.e. one long beep, four short beeps, or nonstop continuous short beeps.

Yes, that is RAM. RAM is loose, or in the wrong slot. If you added RAM, it may not be compatible.

You may have damaged one of them, probably a static shock shorted one of the chips. How many pieces of RAM, what size are they? You might try just one in the first slot, and if that doesn't help, try another. Maybe its just one that is bad.
