Multiple beeps while starting up is most of the time a message for a defect in the hardware. Try taking out some parts, put 1 by 1 back in and after placing 1 part, try to start up first.

The POST beep code - 8 beeps indicates a memory problem.
Try reseating the RAM modules to ensure proper connection.
If it still does not boot up, the RAM may be faulty. Remove the RAM and take it to your computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you. If faulty the RAM needs to be replaced.

If it were a desktop computer, with a removable video-card, then re-seat the video-card.
But, since it's a netbook, the video-card is not removable.
So, about the only removable part is the RAM. Remove the RAM, and re-seat the RAM.

If all else fails, take it to a qualified technician for professional repair.

For the Dell Inspiron Mini 1012 Netbook, 7 beeps indicates bad memory (system RAM). The memory will need to be replaced.
The RAM can be replaced using a small Phillips screwdriver and removing the back-plate on the bottom of the laptop. When you see the memory (sticks around 3 inches long), pull those out and put new ones in. Make sure it's the correct DDR2 memory.
Good luck!
