I dont think the processor failed, because the computer boots and loads, but it will power down within 10 mins. of being on. Also, aren't beep codes only for the BIOS because these will happen when the computer is booting but then it will boot the rest of the way and load everything and then it will give 5 short beeps (I assume short, theyre all the same length and pretty quick) and then it will pause for a few seconds and then 5 more beeps and the screen will almost fade to complete black.
