Without specifics on the beep count I can give some general options. Unplug the unit & press the power button for 10 seconds. Power up & see if it will boot, if not shut down pull the plug & remove the side of the case & check all connectons & pull & reseat the memory modules. Retry power up.
I hope this is helpful to you!
