CPU/Mobo Bios beep code.

My friends PC recently strated giving this error beep code 3-3-3. He has ASUS A8N-vm mobo with AMI bios.
Sometimes what happens is that after those triple 3 beeps the machine loads up winxp and everything works, fine.
Sometimes the machines just hangs at the ASUS logo or other times it boots but shows the message "Cannot load operating system".
These things happens randomly........so what do ya people say?
The components, like drives, memory etc. are detected correctly in the bios.

One more thing, sometimes the machine boots and loads xp perfectly, without any beeps (o.k. theres a single beep, but its normal).
 
^^ Try different RAM chips or rather try Resetting the Following in other :-

1) Change the BIOS Battery
2) Reset BIOS to factory defaults.
3) RESET Memory Chips.
4) Try different memory chips.
3) Disconnect ALL IDE devices and then try starting the system.
