Ok, i was playing around on my computer, and when i found it was time to restart, upon a sucessful shutdown the computer made the 3 long beeps.

Though what made this interesting is that, it didnt automatically shut it self down as it ussaulyly does, it just continued to stay on, though no visual.

And all i did was shutit down using external, and turn back on again, and i had a sucessful boot?
it only seems to beep, when i restart the computer???
any ideas?

Not without knowing which motherboard you have.

sounds like the video died. Depending on how you connected I would try another video card. If its on- board it mite be dead so you'll need a video card. If its connect to a video card try another one. Also, try useing another monitor first to rule that out.
