Title:

Seven beeps when turned on, but sometimes starts properly

Text:

Hi

I have a Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 Laptop. I'm getting the seven beeps upon turning it on. However, sometimes it turns on and runs normally.

I've replaced the thermal compound and still am experiencing the same problems. I also removed the BIOS battery and reinstalled it.

When it starts normally that I can access the diagnostics, everything comes back fine.

I'm stumped as to what to try next, since I'm not sure what the problem is exactly.

Any suggestions/help? Thanks!
