Beeps.....

[lesman]

My brother has been having problems with his computer, long long stories, anyways, the mobo beeps 3 times when the computer is turned on....3 long beeps...I looked it up, but I didnt find anything on "3 long beeps" I could only find "3 short beeps" any help would be appreciated. I don't really know a lot about the situation, all I know is that he has had his friend trying to fix it, so I'm not too "in" on the situation. Thanks.

At least his beeps. Mine didn't beep this morning at all. Dead mobo.

But post the make and model of the mobo and someone will be able to google the beep codes. I'm gonna guess RAM or video card.

Reseat the video card,
Move the ram to a diff slot

If the computer is old replace it with compressed air

Believe it or not CMOS batteries do go out. So you might have to replace it

Those are my quick thoughts

Heh, thanks, I know you were in good intention, but just to clear it up for everyone, I'm not computer illiterate! My first though was that the RAM may be crapping out, but I'll have to see. I'll put down what mobo it is ASAP.

Do you have another PC you can swap parts with? That's always a good place to start if you aren't sure what the problem is.
