These are the beep codes for your system:

Beep Code       Possible Problem
One             Possible system board failure - BIOS ROM checksum failure
Two               No RAM detected. NOTE: If you installed or replaced the memory module,
                ensure that the memory module is seated properly.
Three          Possible system board failure — Chipset error
Four              RAM read/write failure
Five              Real Time Clock failure
Six          Video card or chip failure
Seven         Processor failure
Eight           Display failure

This sounds like the hardware clock has failed. You cannot fix this. If the laptop still boots up you may just want to ignore the error since fixing it may require a new main board.

Either way a trip to the repair shop will be needed to correct it.

The "real time clock" is the circuit that maintains the time on the system. If this circuit fails the PC has no way to maintain an accurate clock. The series of 5 then 2 beeps is indicative of a more serious issue. It could be a loose RAM chip or something else that is defective.

I would seriously recommend having a service shop look the unit over before you wind up loosing everything on your hard disk/
