Question

Optiplex 520

May 10, 2018 7:47AM PDT

When I power it up, I get no display and a series of beeps.
2 Long beeps, followed by 2 short beeps
then 2 short beeps.
This sort of sounds like a u processor issue, hope not
I really like this as I have some legacy programs that need XP
Any help will be appreciated.

Jim
