IBM Thinkpad R40:
Once in a while, when first booting up, I'll get a sequence of three
beeps, a pause, three beeps again, etc. When that happens, I need to
power down, then power up again.

It only happens occasionally, and so far I've always been able to boot
up on the next try.

Any idea where I should look for the problem, and if it's likely to
become more severe?

Possible DIMM error. Get the hardware maintenance service manual from the
IBM web site. It has all the service information in it.
