When Beeps mean Trouble!

Like the motherboard, there are certain beeps that signals error with the graphics card. It is very hard to determine though, because some of these codes pertain to problems with the system memory. A sound of ONE long beep and TWO short beeps, this would indicate a problem with the graphics card possibly connected with a fault from the memory. First thing to do is check the connections by re inserting the card into the socket. If you have a spare graphics card in hand, try inserting it in the socket. This is one way of checking which of the hardware is defective. Resource conflict can also be a factor. It simply means that your graphics may be working just fine but the system is not allowing it to function because there is another application using the same resource.
