1 long, 3short No video card or bad video RAM Reseat or replace the video
card.
This is the Award problem when you get that beep code.
Most likely: Bad video card, try a known good card
Next if that doesn't work try a PCI card to see if the AGP slot is bad
If this doesn't work repost.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Video Problem

I moved my kid's computer from a broken old box to a new one. In moving the
mobo I did remove and reseat the video card, but aside from detaching the
cables, I didn't move anything else.  The mobo fired up immediately, all the
lights came on, it searched all the drives and lit up the LED on the floppy.
I could hear the HDD running, but I got one long beep followed by 3 short
ones and zero video. The mobo is an older Tyan Trinity 400 1854 slot
1/socket 370 with 256 Mb of PC133.  The OS is XP Pro with SP2.  It worked
perfectly before the move, no memory or video problems.

I removed the video card several times and reseated it, but that didn't fix
the problem. The screen remains dark, a Samsung 17" LCD that is brand new.
The HDD is a Western Digital 40 gig that is about 4 months old. As I said,
everything worked before I moved it to a new box.  All the drives light up,
all the LED's light up, and you can hear the HDD.  All suggestions are
welcome.
