Hi:

5 beeps and the red flashing LED = a problem with the memory.

See the troubleshooting guide at the link below, Appendix A, page 58, for how to troubleshoot the 5 beep code error.

Actually I cleaned my mother board a day ago could this be the reason I mean could this be the reason that I would have destroyed my motherboard or 5 beeps means it's an memory error only ? 

Well I tried changing my memory module I'm still 

stuck with same 5 beep problem what to do next ? 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Did you go through each troubleshooting step?

Such as only running one memory module at a time in the primary memory slot?

If you did everything listed, then the motherboard is no good.

Thanks for your help I did it and computer is working again but I don't know why it is beeping like 3 times when it starts and then everything is normal what could be this ? Any idea ?

You're very welcome.

Unfortunately I would have no idea, and suggest you start a new post on that problem.
