My MacBook is stuck on the startup screen and is beeping three times in a row followed by a three second break in between

It ran out of battery last night and when I plugged it in and turned it on this morning it has been stuck on the startup screen and continues to beep three times in a row with a pause of about two or three seconds in between. Won't shut off or advance past the startup screen. Any ideas?

3 successive tones, a 5 second pause (repeating): This indicates RAM does not pass the data integrity check.
