First kindly note my current machine specifications:
Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p Type 7484 Tower
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.40GHz/2M/800
RAM: 2*2 GB (4GB) DDR3
Hard Drive: 320 GB Samsung
Chipset: Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset
Windows: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit SP1

Yesterday I started my system as usual. But It won't display any thing & beeps (Short/Normal) 4x4 times with both fans (CPU & System) run at full speed then I forcefully shut it down with power button (Long press), Furthermore today I tried many times it does same thing (As mentioned above) one time & then second time it works as usual, but even second time fans (CPU & System) still runs at full speed. I have also searched on the internet before posting this thread, it probably indicates an issue with RAM, but I test both of my RAM(s) with my neighbor's computer, it works very well & also checked my system with my neighbor's RAM(s), I didn't understand that if I plug in the computer it runs well but fans work at full speed one time, but another time it starts beeping as said before. My processor's heatsink was already cleaned due to low dust area & HDD health/sector check gave me a clear report. Due to this type of malfunctionality I reflash the same version of BIOS (latest) (As available on official site), but none works.

Kindly help me out ASAP, as I'm a student & needed to complete my assignments shortly.

Hi @it-techs , welcome to CF

That does indeed sound potentially like a RAM issue. Are you able to try one stick at a time to see if the machine boots with one but not the other?

You mention it works one time but not after - you might need to fully power off and restart after changing the systems hardware for it to fully recognise it.

Let us know how you get on!
 
Yup! I had done this before, but none worked, as I already mentioned in my original post that (I test both of my RAM(s) with my neighbor's computer, it works very well & also checked my system with my neighbor's RAM(s)). Actually I didn't understand that why the system runs well one time with one problem (fans run at full speed), but on second time it start beeping. At the last if I slept out system when it runs well then upon log on it didn't starts but acts as second time means beeps 4x4 time. I couldn't figure out what is going on with it.
 
So to be clear, when you tried one stick at a time in your system this didn't work?
 
I already told that both RAM(s) already tested with memtest86 & also just replaced them with neighbor's (Computer) RAM(s) but the issue remain same?

Have you tried one RAM slot at a time though? There might be an issue with the RAM slot or motherboard.
