Count how many short beeps, look up the beep codes for your BIOS on the internet and you'll have your answer.

Don't play with them. Place them firmly at last. This is the reason for most cases...Memory issue can pretty cause it.

Make sure that your RAM stick(s) are firmly and correctly seated. Scan for viruses as well... This could be an overheating issue as well... Make sure that your fans are clean and working properly... Also, you always ground the static electricity from your hands before touching any components inside the case, right?
