Trouble Ticket #4 - Windows and BIOS issue - OPEN

Our newest, and best-working desktop has really derped up...
I think we have a critical BIOS error...
When the system boots...
Diagnostic LEDs "3" & "4" are lit up,
system sounds 4 long beeps, pauses, and then 2 long ones; all at low frequencies.
No video output either.

I remember reading in the Dell Dimension E310 User Manual that "3" & "4" has to do something with the BOIS...
Update: I read the PDF manual on another comp. It says "3" & "4" light up when there's an error with the RAM module(s).
I checked, and it wasn't it.
I knew this would happen eventually; especially with a Dell home consumer PC.
Half the time I'd rather use the old eMachines S2482, it seems to cooperate better [when it's not running Windows™]
I really hate Dell PCs

If available, install properly working memory of the same type into your computer.
What about the Button-Cell "battery"?
Now the next question is... "Will they blend?"
