To start with here's a good writeup on the boot up process and the error conditions, Apple TN: Intel-based Mac: Startup sequence and error codes, symbols.

From what it sounds like your RAM is bad or not correctly seated in the slots. Try removing one of the memory modules one at a time to see if that makes a difference.

OK, thats not good ;-{ I was hoping your description was off. Here's the other Apple TN on just the five flashes: OS X Mavericks: If the sleep indicator light flashes.

Your logic board has a problem, SMC services controls the Sleep LED and has lost communication with your CPU's controller logic.
