Depends on your mobo bios, could be no power, ram, loose or shorting
connection, video fault. http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm "Princess" wrote in message ... Hi guys..

LONG SINGLE BEEP is almost always RAM error; bios checks RAM first, and
can't go on if it fails, that's why no screen or anything else. Try it w/ just one single ram module installed; try each slot in turn, try each module. hopefully you'll at least get it to post and determine which module (may) be bad [note: neither may be "bad", they may just not work well together, or not at all in that motherboard. all PC3200 (or whatever) are not the same, the BANK ORGANIZATION of the dimm makes a difference. Many modules sold on ebay are of the "not so compatable" variety.

I had this problem when I first bought a new machine a few years ago. It
got progressively worse for a few days until the machine wouldn't keep running for more than a few minutes. The machine manufacturer said it was their problem and they had me send the machine back and they gave me a new one. David Liebtag

Expanded answer:
If there is nothing shown on the monitor and there is that long beep from the tower case, this is usually indicate a "hardware" failure. As it was previous mentioned, the RAM may have a problem. This is not the same thing as the hard drive. On 08/01/2007 Black Baptist wrote: =?Utf-8?B?UHJpbmNlc3M=?= rambled on in microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardwa Hi guys..
