While I was working on my 400 slot loader it froze up and when I re-booted I

Does anyone know what is going on here?

This is part of the power up self test New World Macs perform. Three beeps
means that none of the installed memory banks passed the test. This could
mean that they are not seated properly or have gone bad.

My Dell does the same thing.
Is this a universal sort of thing that Apple has adopted ?
- installing RAM on the Dell was a pita. If you breathed on the sucker, 
the RAM came loose.
