Need help asap!!!

My fc died on me earlier. Wouldn't start after driving 2 hours on the highway. I figured vapor lock n I left it to cool for awhile n that seemed to work... but now I have a beeping sound coming from my idiot cluster and no lights are lighting up. Its a beep ever second or so... can anyone identify what warning this is so i don't damage my engine? Oil pressure and coolant is normal. Its a s4, gxl.
