the little book that came with my motherboard has this to say:

   1-3 beeps	This sequence represents the fail-safe booter startup
   4		No valid header found in ROM; loading entire ROM
   5,6,7	Same meaning as Post code 3F fatal error codes

   ...

   3F		Fatal error. Second code identifies source of error:
	05		No memory found
	06		Checksum error detected when image was read back
			from memory
	07		Could not determine the SIMM type

i got 6, which turned out to be easy to fix.  i replaced the battery
on the motherboard.
