PLEASE HELP. 8 BEEPS 2 LONG THEN 2 SHORT.

 

Hello, I've had my computer for about 2 years now, I was just surfing the web when my computer froze and had a blue screen with something along the lines of "BIOS" and "updating then we will restart"

My dad took out the ram and put it into the other socket, took the battery out for 5 min put it back in. upluged the graphics card and reinstalled it in there aswell. I also did the hold down the power for 5 min. Still beeping 8 times then right after two long then two short beeps. We don't have the money to afford new parts so if there's anything I can do to try to fix it that would be awsome..
