STOP Error: 1 short beep 1 long beep

Solved

Hello,
I can't turn on my computer! It's a HP Pavilion PC a6155, and this morning I turned it on and everything went smoothly, but after a while it displayed a blue error screen in English with what I remember "BAD_POOL_HEADER". Then my screen went into sleep mode and the PC started beeping with a frequency of 1 short / 1 long / silence / and then it started again...
How can I fix the problem? I cut the power several times, but when I wanted to restart it, it just started beeping again.
Thank you for your help!!
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello,
    As far as I'm concerned, my HP PC that wouldn't start anymore, with a short beep + long beep, just needed the backup battery (lithium 2032) changed to solve the problem..... I hope this can help.....

      Me, who is an electronics idiot! I'm trying hoping that this will solve my problem. I had no idea that a battery was part of my PC!

    Hello.

    For the beeps, check the type of BIOS, and visit this site:

      So it would be a motherboard or RAM error? How to fix it?

        Now he makes "ticks / ticks / ticks" at regular intervals (about 1 second), what does that mean? Please?
        Thank you Zaboukou
        Otherwise, I don't really dare to touch the electronics, because it's still under warranty...

    if it is still under warranty and you do not have any particular knowledge in

    hardware, you should take advantage of this period, and it will be the best way

    to replace the defective components.

    For the memories, remove them one by one to see if there is only one stick

    in this case, there is no mystery, change it.

      "STOp: 0x000000D1 (0x8DC4E930, 0x00000002, 0x00000008, 0x8DC4E930)"
