Ok so I got bored a couple days ago and decided to take a old comp apart. Well I took it all apart and did not write stuff down that I shoulda probably wrote down. I got everything out of it and blew all the dust out. I put everything back and forgot what Ribbons(the big wide ribbons that connect everythign to the mobo and such) went where, I thoguth I had them all in the right spot tho... and also there was about 5 things that connected to the mobo from the power switch and stuff and I think I got those in the wrong order. Now everytime I turn on the comp it makes a long beep followed by 2 short beeps. anyone know what I coulda done wrong. I wana fix it but its nto a priority I just wanted ot take apart a comp since I will be building one for the first time soon. When I fianlly do my build I will be a lot more careful but I dont really care about the old comp. Any advise would be helpfull.

yeah, try that. then get back to us if that doesn't work.
 
Its a pent. 3 about 4 years old, it was retired after we got our dell. So now its my experiment. So you trhink the video card or ram might not be in all the way? Not the cords are messed up? My DSL is scrwed up so I will try that and get back to you as soon as I can witch might not be for a couple of days.
Thanks
