Hi,
2 beeps could also indicate issue with memory module. Try using a different memory module if haven’t done so already.
Please disconnect all external peripherals from the system (printer, external drive or any USB device except mouse and keyboard).
Remove the power cable from the back of the tower and then hold the power button for 15-20 seconds. Put the power cable back in and start the computer.
Please respond for any further assistance.
Thanks & Regards
Rathish C
