Weird problem - Long beep than 3 small beeps

I turned my computer on and this what happened.

-Booting up

-Then one long beep

-Then 3 small beeps

-Continued to boot up

-Windows jingle came on

-But I can't see anything on the screen (says it can't detect computer)

I've checked all the plugs, everything was fine yesterday.

Check the motherboard POST code manual, it should document the meaning of the beeps.

IIRC 1 long and 3 short beeps means a memory error on AMI BIOS's and a video error on Award BIOS's.

It would be very helpful if you listed your full system specs, otherwise its very hard to properly diagnose your system.

I've just taken it to a repair shop. And they said it might be a memory problem. Make sense because it didn't affect the Hard Drive cause I could hear windows in the background. I hope it's just the memory and not the whole motherboard.

Oh yeah. There is 2 new games that just came out in Australia. Batman Arkham Asylum and Call Of Juarez Bound In Blood.

Which one would you pefer ?

It just got fixed today. Reason: Faulty ram slot on motherboard.

idk what the long beeps are from but the three small beeps are from cpu fan failure.
