[QUOTE="y0ur_grandma"][QUOTE="NoAssKicker47"] One beep, about 2-3 times longer than the regular beep. Maybe it's really two or three beeps in a row.NoAssKicker47
Hmm...
Well two beeps would mean a POST/CMOS error. Three long ones would mean a key board error. And then one long beep and a little one after it would mean a motherboard problem. This page will give you an idea of what's going on: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/nonworkingcomponent/ht/beepcodestb.htm
Oh thanks! That really helped me. What I heard was closest to "One long beep, two short ones" which according to this page indicates a problem with my video card. Might explain the horrid performance. I'll try to see if it's by accident a bit loose in its socket. Is there any program to help me diagnose a problem with my video card?I'm not sure if I can find a diagnoser but I'll keep looking...
