Ok...so heres the deal. I turn my computer on and it just beeps. The fans seems to be going. I tried cleaning it out as well. The beeping is Long spaced about 5 seconds apart. My moniter wont even turn on. I know that works I tried it on another Computer. This Computer isn't even a year old yet! This computer was built for for me it's not through any company that has a support line. I bought the Computer from a repair guy in North Dakota... I live in AZ now, so I can't go back to him for help. Anything will Help! I'm prepared to take it to some repair store if I have too, But if it's cheaper to buy a new one then i'd rather do that. Please help...

the beep you describe is a memory beep try pulling out your ram and reseating it if it still beeps then replace the memory

Typically no video and constant beeping is related to RAM. Some systems need to have RAM installed in pairs while others do not.
Open the case and remove all RAM sticks. try one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

You can sometimes take the memory to a computer store and have it checked out.

Next step would be to try and look on the Main Board vendors site for beep codes.

Worst case, your main board might be the problem.

It definately looks like your computer is not getting past the memory test while booting up. This is normally a loose RAM or one of it has blown up. You will have to remove the RAM sticks from the machine, try putting in one of them and then starting the machine. If it works try putting the other one is as well and test if both are working.

If both are not working you might have to buy a new ram stick or might want to take it down to a computer repair shop as this could be an issue with the slots on the motherboard

More info. How do the beeps sound (ex 1 long beep and 3 short beeps)? The number of beeps and how long they last can tell me what might be wrong with your pc.

There's two possibility :
1. Memory Error (repeated long beep)
Try to remove your memory from its slot, and try to clean the memory connector pin with rubber eraser. Plug it back to the slot
2. Keyboard Error (three long beep)
Try to replace with another keyboard

The trouble shoot I give's 100% works.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.

Memory. Be sure to ground yourself before touching the memory.

put a different hard drive in and see if that works. if it does then your hard drive is shot. if it doesnt then something else on your computer is shot.
