Default Dell POST code

Alright, my school wanted me to hook some compters up the the school network. There were 5 comps. 4 of the work and the other one is just beeping at me. I've searched and can't find the POST code decription of this. It is giving me 6 long beeps. This is a Dell Optiplex GX60. I will continue my search but if any of you can help me I would appreciate it.

Info:
Dell Optiplex GX60
6 long beeps at POST

6 Beeps 8042 Gate A20 failure Bad CPU or Motherboard


If it is really 6 long beeps thats what it means. If it is 2 short a short pause then 4 long.. or somethig of the sort... it could mean something different.
