Broken Desktop.

[bragor]

I have a problem with a custom built desktop from PC Specialist. I am going to ring up tomorrow and see what assistance they can be towards the issue but i also wanted to create a thread. About 3 days ago my computer had been working fine, From since i brought it back in 2010, Some minor issues with a bad graphics card etc which they most kindly fixed.
Now on to this problem, As i was saying about three day ago i started up my computer to find that When the Motherboard check on boot-up Gets to ( Vga - Led ) The motherboard does one short beep, and three fast beeps. This then causes the computer to not show a signal at all on the monitor and not to boot up.
Another problem when booting up (in accordance with the other problem) The graphics card fan speeds up to a Insane speed which it has never done before.
What i have noticed aswell strangely enough, If i change the display menu on the monitor, For example: TV mode to PC mode it will cause the graphic cards fan to speed up to a insane level, (if it hasnt done before hand on boot-up) Also, It will speed up to an insane speed if you take out the VGA cable that goes into the monitor for an input. (Also if you boot-up without the cable in it will automatically go high fan speed)

Any help would be appreciated, As i said i will ring up (today) silly me... Lol! And get it fixed/replaced. Thankyou

It depends on the BIOS as to what the above beeps mean.
If you can find out what BIOS you have installed via the motherboard then this website will give you an indication of what the issue is:

1 long, 3 short beeps could mean a Failure in video system/ the video DAC(digital-to-analog converter) , the monitor detection procedure or the video RAM has failed.
I assume your monitor only has a VGA port & your using a DVI to VGA adaptor,
If your monitor has a DVI port try connecting with a DVI D cable,if not
you could try another VGA cable &/or adaptor.
