Yeah tell you why then you can throw away the motherboard! :)
Always remember the 8 beeps one...throw away video card
1 and 3 beeps throw away memory sticks..

Thought 1 beep was normal on start up.
Quite often 3 beeps means take out memory sticks, blow dust off motherboard sockets. wipe stick contacts, put back, and she fires up. :lol:

G'Day,
Yes 1 beep is normal,but lets say you get 1 long beep and 2 shorts beeps
according to the beep code on that web site you have "Video" or "Graphic card" problems :(
