Hi, when i went to turn my computer on today it had 1 long bip followed by 3 short beeps.
The monitor started to turn on but nothing happened. It stayed completely black. I changed monitors but niether turned on.
What do these beeps mean. Are they some kind of error code?
Thanks.

Yes, the beeps are error messages. Beep codes are different with different versions of BIOS so I wouldn't be able to tell you what the beeps mean with your computer.

That sounds like a Bad Monitor or Graphics Card..Also if the monitor ur using went out. then make sure your second monitor that you checked it with, was not an old one from 1997-2000. it might beep the same.. Also Award, Pheniox and AMI BIOS, those are mostly used on todays sys boards, if that helps any..My bet is on your card..,
