What is the length of EACH beep? It's morass code. "Short short short long" "Continuous short beeps"

Does the system power off after letting it sit and beep?

Problem solved.. Googled it and it said something about processor failure.. I was worried so I opened the case and cleaned the sink and everything, pulled RAM and put it back. Working now :) Thanks for the help anyways :)
