It doesn't matter if you added any recently; RAM can fail (although not often, but it can).


The beeps appear to indicate a problem with RAM, so if the RAM slots are accessible, you can test it by removing all but one > then do the next one > etc. until you can figure out which slot and/or which module is faulty. Then contact Apple support.
