1 long beep, 3 shorts beeps on startup. Graphics failure?
#1
OK. I randomly started getting this problem about 2 weeks ago. When I try to restart my computer(or turn it on) sometimes it makes 1 long beep and 3 short beeps. Then nothing appears on the screen. That's what was happening 2 weeks ago. NOW it's worse. It still does that sometimes, but when it actually starts working, the screen's color is distorted and theres lines and scares and crap. Like the screen goes crazy. SO here is what I tried:

- taking out my graphics card and putting it back in, in case it was loose
- taking out the ram and putting it back in, in case it was loose and in case it was a memory problem

None of that worked.
I tried going into my BIOS, but the screen is so fudged up that I can't see anythnig.
My graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce 7600.
Am I gonna have to buy a new graphics card?Confused
Hopefully not.Gratte

Plz help me.
Thank you.Blink
