Check the RAM, you may have bumped it and it might need to be re-seated..
Long beep is usually RAM, 3 beeps is usually video, but it depends on the
BIOS.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Beep code


I have an old machine with a Octek Rhino 15 MB and 128MB DIMM in slot
1running a Cyrix 8x86 at 266mhz.Windows 95 is the OS.The machine worked fine
several months ago when I stole the video card from it.I have now replaced
the video card and can't get the machine to boot.There is a completely blank
screen and I am getting a long beep about 3 seconds apart.The board has an
Award bios with a new battery.I have stripped it down to only the video card
and hard drive with the OS on it.
Any help is appreciated
