You turn a computer on, but nothing shows up on the monitor. Instead of one beep, you hear one long beep followed by three short beeps. What is the problem?

A	The video card is dead.
B	The motherboard is dead.
C	The BIOS is not functioning.
D	Not enough information; you need to look up the beep code to determine the problem.

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Interrupt controller failure. 3 short and 3 long beeps. Keyboard self-test issue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Usually, a 3-beep error indicates a system memory error. If it is, please check your ram module if it is seated properly. Oct 11, 2021 by Jared Salazar. Reseat/replace memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -One single beep means “all systems clear”. This means you don’t actually have a problem! One long beep, two short beeps means a checksum error has occurred. This signals an issue with your motherboard.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps is a graphics-related error. Reseat the RAM and reboot. If you get the same beep code, this could be a possible bad motherboard or processor. 5 short beeps is a CPU issue.
