What model of Dell do you have? Desktop or notebook? How old is it?

What kind of beeps are they? Are they short beeps, long beeps, or a combination of both.

It could be either a video card error, RAM error, or keyboard error from the 3 beeps I believe.

More information is needed though.

What hardware do you have installed on your computer?

For a list of beep codes you can consult this page:
