My pc has died, The screen froze at the windows desktop screen while I was at work. I had to remove power to reboot. On reboot All I got was a continuous set of beeps. No video at all, It says in the MOBO manual that continuous long beeps is a graphics card problem,and short beeps are power supply problem.How do you tell the difference between long and short?
My system is Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L MOBO, Intel core2 duo 2.66 conroe,
Zotac 8800GT invidia graphics card , 3 gig crucial ballistic ddr2 ram. Antec 550 Watt true power trio PS, 160 gig WD caviar Sata HD.

The system was built in February and ran perfectly till this week.
Again ,now I have no video---no bios splash screen--- just contiuous beeps. I am leaning towards a bad video card????? Thanks Tod
 
Beeeeeeeeeeeep = Long

Beep = Short

Simple enough, eh? :)

Will NOT be the HDD. HDD failure will not display until POST.
 
You don't need to fill all slots or run even #s of RAM modules. However, you may be mixing memory speeds/manufacturers (such as 1 from Kingston and 1 from IBM) or the memory has failed (rare) OR the memory isn't seated properly. Bear in mind that some PCs with integrated graphics on the motherboard may not show anything on the screen if memory is not doing what its supposed to do. So many cheap little computers fill the landfills for this reason :( sad, but true. But, you mentioned that you have a graphics card, so the problem lies in the memory or motherboard, likely.
