^^if u use a video card, remove it & reseat it in the gfx slot.........
make sure all cables are tight, no pci component has come loose......


If u use onboard, check whether the monitor cable is fixed properly, otherwise call a technician

Long beeps seems to be some mem problem. If it was the GFX isuue then the green light won't glow nd PC wont be started.
If u hve more thn one ram stick try one at a time nd see if it boots..

My config is:
Asus A8N-E mobo Bios upgraded to 1013,AMD Athlon 3500+, Nvidia XFX 7600GS Xtreme Ed., Transcend 512Mb 400mhz Ram, 160 gb SataII, Antec Sonata with True power 380w, Pinnacle 50i TV Tuner card, Creative SB Live 5.1DE, Creative 5.1., LG DRDRW.
I bought my pc 2 months back when i assembled it i faced this similar problem 1 long beep and then 3 short beeps. after few tries de prob vanished mysteriously and my pc was working fine. two days back when i switched it on i faced this same problem 1 long beep and then 3 short beeps, there was no display. I have cheked the ram at my office and its working fine. wat else cud be the problem. pls help

^^have u tried to remove and reinset ur 7600GS in the gfx slot???
usually, 1 long beep & two short beeps indicate a video problem
continuous beeping --- memory problem

Remove your grafix card try connectin to onboard mobo graphics slot..If ur sys runs, its time to run after warranty and stuff...u cud also try cleanin the graphics card pins with a pencil eraser....worked for me the last time smthin similar happened...Try the same with your ram too...

mostly the prob will be in memory, use a replacement and see

i am facing a 1 long beep and after that 3 beeps in quick succession, i have opened my gpu and reseated it, no solution. i cheked it other ddr modules, no solution. its either de mobo or the gpu, just have to find out which one.

 

[nishant_nms]

why don't u check ur GPU or RAM on another PC

@tech_mastermind
How could be it??Even ive finished the game on my older PC as well as the new one nd almost all my friends has done the same with those pirated. How its gonna affect the h/w nyway????
Maybe some s/w can make windows hang up like the riva tuner or CBID nd all. But no way any s/w could make PC make long beeps at post check.

@tech_mastermind
hl2 causes problems when one tries to use an unsupported gfx card like TNT2, 845, 865 etc.....
but that does not make the system unbootable....

 

[sysfilez]

anyway i have cheked the ram, gpu at my friends place and both the stuffs are working fine in his pc. i am sending my mobo to asus service centre, probably its the culprit. keeping my fingers crossed now.
tnx 2 everybody 4 helping me out.

hey i gotmy mobo back, and guess wat the problem wasn't there either. its the dvi connector of the GPU. here in kolkata one of my friend is friendly to xfx distributors, and de distributor said that there is a prob with these connectors. anyway i m noying my pc now. tnx for all the support.
