screen is black, fan is going fast, the caps lock button is flashing, series of beeps disk wont open

[chaz28]

Hi, my laptop wont turn on. When I press the on button I can hear the laptop starting up but the screen says black, the fan goes quite fast and the caps lock button flashes. As well as this I can hear a series of beeps, it does 3 long ones then 2 short ones very close together and repeats this 3 times. I have googles it and have tried clearing the ventilation, a power reset and resetting the RAM. I changed my RAM ages ago to a better one so I know how to take the back off and everything. But this time when I did it I couldn't get it completely off and after I put it back together i realised my disk thing keeps on getting stuck.

I reviewed your post and I understand that the computer is not booting to windows and the caps lock light is blinking.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I've looked at the chart and i can't find which one I think it will be. I only have a LED on the caps lock button and it does 3 long blinks per cycle and repeats this the whole time the notebook is on. The beeps have 3 long beeps and 2 short ones but this only gets repeated three times then it goes silent.
