Hi all! I got a problem with my PC(Not really mine) when I tried to boot it, there is a long continuous beeping sound. From what I know, in general long continous beeping sound meaning that there is some problem with the memory (RAM, Video card or motherboard) But which is which I am not being able to pinpoint it.

As I do not have other extra parts to switch around with it to test it out.

Its a P3, 16 mb of Video card and 64 mb ram. This is kinda old..which i dun personally think there is a need to fix it. But i am doing it our of goodwill for a friend. At first I thought it would be a case of just reinstalling and stuff like that.

I have tried to changed the RAM to other slots and check the video card. But still there beep sound continue.

I am not sure which problem it is Would anyone advise me on this??

Thanks
 
Are you getting anything to display to the screen? Have you tried taking the PC down to only processor, RAM and vid card to see if the beep continues?
 
If you just want the puter as a back up a P3 is a nice unit. If you want it for anything current, especially gaming, have a friend lanch it after crying pull and then pump a couple of AA winchester 12 ga rounds into it! you are, after all, Italian, right Rocko. Capice, Rocko? :)
