Hi, I have get repeated beeps when I install 2gigs of extra ram on my
2/4 ram slots.
I'm running and Aspire E380 and it seems I need to update my BIOS but I
can't find any information on the internet regarding how to do this.

Hi.
Here's a link to the Acer download page for the bios flash file.

However flashing a bios can do as much harm as it can do good and
should be regarded as a final potential solution.
Within the zip file there is a .pdf explaining how to proceed with
flashing the bios.

Star troubleshooting the RAM modules one by one trying each module out
in each socket to either rule out a faulty module or a faulty socket on
the motherboard.
Also make sure to check the technical specification of the desktop
model making sure that the new ram isn't working on a too high frequency
for the motherboard.

I've never flashed a bios before, and I'd rather not risk it. Is there
another solution you would recommend that is safer?

Already did this, each socket works fine. Its just a problem if it goes
over 2 regardless of new/old card.
I even tried same 4 old ram cards using my friend's computer but it
still gave same results.
