Hi Suzzonmartie,

Two beeps indicate RAM failure. Refer to the link for instructions to remove and reseat the Memory module: http://dell.to/13PHc5X 

Once you click on the website, please click on the service manual and navigate to page Number – 24.

Try to boot the system with only one memory module first and then the second one to check functionality. I also would request you to try a different good known memory module if available.

Please respond for further assistance.

Thanks & Regards
Rathish C
