Bios Long Beep

[NosBoost300]

okay.. well when booting the computer we got a long beep, any ideas what that could mean, it happened after reseting bios

also, his lcd isnt getting a signal either

we've had it boot with an normal beep already, but no signal, so we're trying several things right now, any ideas on how to get a signal going?? my friend had the same problem, he's running a 24 inch widescreen dell monitor

and he's on my old computer

abit kn8 sli
2 gigs ddr 500
250 gig wd hdd
x1900xt
520 watt psu

keep in mind i've owned it before and had it run just fine.... and we've already got it to post correctly
