Beep Codes

My Inspiron lets out a series of beeps every time it powers on, I think it is 3 and then a short pause and then 3.  This continues for about 30-40 seconds and then stops.

Any suggestions?

Impossible to be specific without the model number (Inspiron 3501, 5593, etc.) but that sequence usually means a failed system board.
