pc won't boot, contstant beeping

Hi All,
I have a pc that wont boot, it is a hp pc.
Basically the lights come on etc, no monitor.
It is making the following beeping pattern,
approx 7 seconds  of a beep, approx 7 seconds silence, approx 2 seconds beep, approx 2 seconds silence,approx 7 seconds  of a beep, approx 7 seconds silence, approx 2 seconds beep, approx 2 seconds silence  etc..etc..etc...
Does anyone know what this beeping represents?  or is there good website that explaines beeping patterns? i.e what part of hardware could be in trouble.
Hope someone can assist.
Stephen
