One long, three short beeps...

From Scott Mueller's "Upgrading and Repairing PCs" 10th Ed. (Sept. 98),
QUE Corporation, pages 985-986

IBM code: Problem with Enhanced Graphics Adaptor.
AMI BIOS: Conventional/Extended memory failure.

All I can suggest is that you check both the RAM (in case you have
an AMI BIOS) and the video card (in case the IBM warning is a generic
warning).

Good luck,
Bill
