Check the PC model and describe any beeping noises during startup.
It produces quite a loud beeping noise. The model identification is difficult since the sticker letters are no longer visible.
The beeping pattern signals a problem. It follows a specific rhythm: short beep, short beep, long beep, short beep, and repeats. As @thevictor390 mentioned, if things go completely wrong, you might need an IDE to USB adapter to salvage all the information from the drive.
I swapped the two RAM sticks for one different unit, which resolved the problem I observed.
