4 beeps & system not working

[curioustechy]

I was working with my computer and was idle for about 1 & half hours. Then when I turned on monitor nothing appeared. Thinking that the system might have gone to sleep mode, I shake and clicked the mouse, pressed the enter button & then finally pressed the power button of cpu (my CPU has no restart button). Nothing happened. So I switched off the Mains & switched it on again. Now cpu produced 4 beeps & powerlight glows. But nothing appears in the screen. Monitor is ok . Data & power cables to monitor are ok... I switched off & on 4 to 5 times, after removing all other peripherals like mouse,.keyboard, speaker etc.. I even removed & put back the battery, also I pulled out ram modules and cleaned it and put them back.... Still those 4 beeps & nothing in the screen

what mobo , cpu , gpu and PSu you have ? ( manufacturer and model names ).

Does all the 4 Beeps are Short/Same Duration or 1 Long & 3 Short Beeps?

Does BIOS Screen Show Up?

4 Beeps are usually indicating that Memory has failed. Try Single Stick at a time in different slots and see if it boots. DO it with all the sticks one by one.

yes all 4 beeps of same duration. no bios screen. ok let me check with the memory sticks

I'm not able to access my sys spec now. Anyway i've once posted it in another thread some time ago

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-components-configurations/150086-lenovo-m-57-a.html

[From my memory its, Intel Core 2 Duo Proc E6550 , 2GB (Apart from 2 single modules of 1gb each already present i've later added a 2gb single module later and have been working without any glitch for about 3 months), 1TB 7200RPM S-ATA
HDD, PCI/PCIe Tower (4 x5 ), Intel GMA 3100,
48x 32x 48x 16x CDRW/DVD combo, Intel Gigabit Ether ]

Thanks a lot for the solution. I rotated the memory modules one by one & found one of my 4 dimm slots is faulty... As I was having just 3 ram modules, I could use the other three...
