Ok.
the hardrive revs up twice.
Are you sure it is the HDD that you hear??? Checking the HDD is not the first thing which occurs when you boot up a PC, it is the last thing

nvidia TNT2 model 64 bois v2.0.5.13e

266.0 mb ram
"266.0 mb" <= is that correct and literally as it is printed on screen?
"bois" <= Is that correct?
remember to not make typos in such important stuff. Check and double check your writings and check and double check again before you post.

that is very vague and very confusing and not clear at all. "10 seconds later beep" <= what do you mean by that? The beep takes 10 seconds? It is 10 secs silence before there is a beep? "and this carries on" <= how does it carry on? The beep is continuously? There is after X seconds of beep another 10 seconds silence before the next beep? etc... etc...

Describe everything again, in more detail and step by step

Can you please be absolutely clear in your futur posts
It really doesn't help if you keep on posting contradicting stuff to what you posted before. Before you posted that the sticker on the back was browned. This was after we talked about fried memory. So what it is?
Is it a sticker on the back of the graphics card?
Is it a sticker on the back of a memory module?
Is the sticker browned by heat or dust?
Or is the sticker simply a brown sticker?
------------------------------------------
Be very detailed and very clear in what you write. So far this thread has come up with not much after all these posts because we never get a clear picture and each time that "picture" changes...
As for the things you see on the screen when you boot up, I also doubt that it is the full detailed stuff you see. Normally you should also see some BIOS info, version number etc... Every detail and every letter/number you see on the screen (even its place on the screen) is important; do not make typo's either when copying. You could also try to take a picture/photo of the screen and attach that. To freeze the screen (during the beeps) press on your PAUSE key on the keyboard (this is useually the right top key on your keyboard).
If you describe your problems in detail and step by step say what you see and hear, and mention everything exactly as you see it on screen, we wouldn't have this long thread. A description can not be too long or too detailed, however, it can be too short and to vague. Take your time to make detailed step by step posts instead of quickly replying with 1 sentences with abbrivations and what not.
If you are unable to do that, helping you is very difficult and the help might not be correct (hence we suggested several times you take it to your local PC shop so they can see the things for themselfs).
