Guys, PC works but have no image. I've tested several VGAs,RAMs,HDDs,LCDs.
So i tooked it apart, cleaned and boothed with just VGA+CPU without RAM-HDD.
I have 1 long+2 short beeps.

1 long + 2 short beeps are Video system failure: Error in video card BIOS, or a horizontal retrace has failed (AMI BIOS)
I have all working and tested Video cards so what's the problem ?

Any help?

What board? What parts? What were you doing when it stopped booting? We need more info :)

Most board beep info can be found on their website. Do a little googling and if you have zero info found come back and we'll help out ;D (No disrespect meant, I just believe our forum colleagues would appreciate more information:) )

MOB is OEM by ASUS P4SD-VX with high quality CAP's for SONY PCV-RZ32G, working all fans, PSU, CPU fan, HDD is running, CD-DVD's also.
I just turned on PC and this happened, was using PC more than 3 years.
How i find from googling i'm not alone(HP,SONY, so on..) but they are just newbie users
so i came here to hear PRO's opinions about this problem.

You need at minimum a CPU, Video Card, and RAM to boot. The error code you're getting is likely from having no RAM in your PC.

Won't a PC boot and stop at bios if no ram is present while still providing video?

I'm guessing you already reset the bios....As in take out the battery and wait

Try booting it up with no video card at all shut it down insert video card and try again....Sounds funny but worked for me before. Of course you'll need some mem in it also.
