Seven beeps when turned on, but sometimes starts properly

Hi

I have a Dell Inspiron 15R 5520 Laptop. I'm getting the seven beeps upon turning it on. However, sometimes it turns on and runs normally.

I've replaced the thermal compound and still am experiencing the same problems. I also removed the BIOS battery and reinstalled it.

When it starts normally that I can access the diagnostics, everything comes back fine.

I'm stumped as to what to try next, since I'm not sure what the problem is exactly.

Any suggestions/help? Thanks!

When a laptop or computer first powers on, it goes through an initial set of diagnostic tests to make sure everything under the hood is working properly. These tests are called POST (Power On Self Test). When a test fails, the user is notified via POST codes which can be lights or beeps. 7 beeps are used to indicate a CPU Cache test failure. This can be a processor failure or motherboard failure. For this I would suggest you reseat or replace the CPU/motherboard. You can find a replacement part here.
