P4V88 Beeping Problem

Hello,

I have a P4V88 motherboard and whenever I reboot, it makes 1 long beep and 9 short ones, and the monitor doesn't display anything, but the computer seems to load. And when I reboot again it works flawlessly, no crashes, no freezes, everything seems in order.

Any ideas on this weird bug? :confused:
 
When you hear beeping, they are mostly caused by the CPU, RAM or Graphic card. I guess it maybe RAM or Graphic card problem.
 
Yes, I always thought it was one of those things, mostly the graphics card, I have an AGP GeForce 6600.

Oh, and one more thing, the computer doesn't seem to care much if I press Turn Off anymore.
 
It doesn't turn off just by pressing the Turn Off Computer button. I need to turn it off using the on/off button from below.

Edit: Hmm, it seems to turn off properly now...
So, back to the beeps, any idea on how to get rid of them?

I think I know what's wrong now! It's probably a screen display/retrace test failure! Could this be because of my ASRock P4V88 motherboard or my GeForce 6600?

One more thing, it's a small detail but maybe I should point it out... I didn't make any upgrades after I bought the graphics card. My 3DMark 2003 score was about 4990 (no sound tests but I think they don't make a difference), and now I have only about 4300. Maybe my videocard was overheated or something? I did do a bit of overclocking, but only a bit, and I restored anything back anyway because I didn't get much of a performance increase.
