Beep codes

[Comanche]

I have a gigabyte GA-MA790fx with an Nivida 8600 GTS. 2 gigs of DDR2 800 Ram. I am having random shut downs and one freeze where I got a long continuous beep from the box. I don't seem to be able to find out what that long beep is suggesting.

Any help would be appreciated

BIOS beep code listings (select your specific BIOS from the right menu).

That was where I looked before but the continuous one is not there.

From the GA-MA790FX-DQ6 users manual, section 5-3, page 107.

Q:What do the beeps emitted during the POST mean?
A:The following Award BIOS beep code descriptions may help you identify possible computer problems.
(For reference only.)
1 short: System boots successfully
2 short: CMOS setting error
1 long, 1 short: Memory or motherboard error
1 long, 2 short: Monitor or graphics card error
1 long, 3 short: Keyboard error
1 long, 9 short: BIOS ROM error
Continuous long beeps: Graphics card not inserted properly
Continuous short beeps: Power error

So, problem with the video card?

Funny I looked all over that book and couldn't find it. I will try that.

Thanks
