1. Control Panel, then Power Options.
2. Click on the APM Tab, then check the "Enable Advanced Power Management
support."

If the computer is beeping immediately after you add new RAM it is not
happy with that hardware change.

Is the RAM the right type for the system? Is it the same type as any other
RAM you have onboard? Have you checked to see if BIOS is identifying the
RAM correctly? Checked on the beep code for your system board? (Beep codes
have specific meanings and help to inform you about what's going on.)
