asus a7s333 won't boot, 1 long 3 short beeps

I've had that computer for years and now it won't boot. Just one long and three short beeps. Help!

What does your manual say?

You can find out what the beep mean on their website also.

But its either Video card, RAM, CPU or motherboard. (Usally, there are many more meaning to different beeps depending on manufacturer)

I suggest trying differen't RAM or Video card first as they are more common problems.

Don't have the manual, unfortunately. Looked all over the web but the links (including the official site) to the manual are dead.

1 long, 3 short: Conventional/Extended memory failure

Do you have two sticks of RAM? boot with one and then the other till you find that bad one. That way, you won't be stuck without a PC till you can get more RAM.

I only have one stick of RAM. I'll try replacing that first. Thanks all!
