Tell me more about the beeps. Describe it. Is it one beep, three beeps, two long and one short? Talk to me

and

Tell me the make and model of your computer.

I can tell you know, this looks, like it can be a hardware problmem.

Are you saying one short beep many times?

If so how many?

yeah one short beep many times. im not sure, it goes on for a while and there is not a long pause in between each one its just a constant beep. and it doesn't sound like there is a cycle of beeps, it just continues.

Based on the fact that you are hearing beeps and one of the two BSOD reports indicated that it was a hardware problem,
By your description it sounds like a memory problem.
If the computer constantly crashes quickly after boot you will not be able to test the ram. The only thing you can try is to reseat.
