Hey today, my mac froze and started making a beeping noise, I thought nothing of it so I turned it off then back on again, but the problem persists.
I called up the apple store, the helper led me through a number of tests, He asked me to run a hardrive test, he said if it came back with no problems that I should reinstall OS Lion, and if it came back with a problem to contact him again.
After the test my hardrive was fine, so I reinstalled Lion, but shortly after the problem happened again.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You have an issue with your RAM.

- a ram module going bad
- installation of incompatible ram
- your ram may have become dislodged

If you're under warranty, bring it to an Apple store.
 
I think i found the probelm, because when i pushed in the bottom of the mac, it instantly froze and beeped, is this becuase the RAM is loose?
