• Answer #1

  How many times did the light flash ?

  those are the beep codes:

  1 beep = No RAM installed/detected

  2 beeps = Incompatible RAM type installed (for example, EDO)

  3 beeps = No RAM banks passed memory testing

  4 beeps = Bad checksum for the remainder of the boot ROM

  5 beeps = Bad checksum for the ROM boot block

  when the light flashes - you must add 1 flashing for the corresponding code (like 1 beep equals 2 flashes = no ram installed and so on)

• Answer #2

  I ain't really specialized in Macs but, it COULD be an overheating problem. Is it a laptop? Or an iMac? If it's a laptop then I suggest going to buy those cooling pads, probably around 30 bucks you'll get a good one. My windows laptop overheats if I don't put some cooling on it.
