Hi Guys, when i switch on my pc, my monitor is not showing anything and the beeps sound comes from the tower itself : beep....beep beep. Any sugesstion whats wrong? I suspect its the graphic card problem as it is not stable after i format my harddisk sometime ago. This sound occurs after i switch from CRT to LCD and now i use back CRT monitor still not working.Thanks
Regards

Try reseating your video card.
how do i reset my video card? pluck it and slot in again? now that i cant access to the OS..i have took the card out and slot in ..seems the same ..does it mean the card is spolit that i have to buy another one ? thanks
Yes pull it out, blow any dust from the slot, then push it back in again. Make sure it in all the way. If that doesn't work, you may need a new video card. I'd suggest tring it on another machine if you can, before shelling out the money though.
thanks alot :)

hi guys sorry..have heard the beeps wrongly...it should be like this:
long beep once, beep beep...............beep beep
it seems like one long beep and 4 short beeps with the dots as time interval..the website above does not reflect this type of beeps combination..:(...and the pc will self restart by itself after a while
Hmm well I'd still try pulling out your video card and reinserting it. Maybe do you RAM too. If that doesn't work you could try resetting the BIOS, there's usually a jumper by the battery to do it.
