Need help with my notebook

[Samdawg]

I have been using my AcerTravelMate 520iT for a while now
and all of a sudden it wont boot up.
I turn it on and the hdd spins up and it beeps 3 times
and shuts down. Then wont come back on again without removing the
battery for a few hours. Anyone know what the 3 beeps stand for?
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

I'd start at the company's web for that answer

Yeah tried that but no go.
Nothing in their manuals.
Hmmm. I thought it would be like a normal computer bootup
where the beeps are a code.
