Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

One Long and 3 Short Beeps refer to a RAM problem for AMI Bios.
The two beeps later indicate a graphics problem.
Remove all the RAM, power on the PC and listen for a repeated single beep from the Mobo speaker. If you hear that beep the Mobo is probably OK.
Brand & Model of CPU-RAM-Graphics-PSU.

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

So I took out the battery and moved a jumper somewhere near the butter to from 1 2 to 2 3. And I wait 5-10 min right?
Correct.
After clearing the CMOS, try booting with one stick of the original RAM.

Mixing RAM brands/specs commonly causes issues. Filling all the RAM slots on the Mobo can cause Voltage issues.

If you use the jumper you do not need to remove the battery. UNPLUG the power cord to the PSU, push the Power button a few times, move the jumper from pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3 for ten seconds, move the jumper back to pins 1 & 2, attempt to boot using one stick of the original RAM.
