Hey there,

It sounds like the beeping is occurring due to an issue with the RAM. Here are some troubleshooting steps to try:

1. Reset the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

2. If your device has 2 or more RAM chips installed, please try each installing RAM chip individually.

  • This will help you identify which RAM chip may potentially be an issue.

3. Clean the RAM slots with compressed air.

  • If, for whatever reason, there is dust and debris in the connectors, this will clean it out.
