Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

have you followed the advice above and downloaded memtest 86 to test your ram?

memtest should be run with one stick installed for several passes then swap sticks and run again for several passes.

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

you dont see anything on screen at all.

try a cmos reset.

switch power off at wall do not unplug
open the case a locate the battery
remove the battery
if there are jumpers move the jumper from 1 & 2 to 2 & 3 or clr cmos
press power button
put battery back in
if you moved the jumper then move it back to its original position
put battery back in
close case
switch on at wall
power up.

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

well most issues caused are basically down to human error for example:- using low quality parts like the psu for instance whilst it may seem economical at the time it could end up being very expensive, using low quality ram again this can cause all sorts of issues, not cleaning dust out of the system can cause overheating therefore damage. Not grounding yourself whilst working inside the pc can cause ESD and destroy components etc etc
