Around 3 days ago my pc woudn't boot up, no beeps could be heard and nothing would come on the screen. But after a few hours it did but would load the OS only in safe mode. Trying to load in normal mode gave me a blue screen after the windows load screen with some atidvag error. So looking for advice around the net I uninstalled the ati drivers and
now windows would start normally but with colour corruption all over the screen. But since the day after that I'm getting 1 short beep followed by 3 long ones when trying to start the pc which according to my manual indicates a faulty video card.
So should I take it my gcard alone is at fault here and buying a new one would solve the problem or some other component too maybe behind this? Does a faulty gcard cause pc to not boot up at all with no beeps to be heard as was how this problem started out? Also prior to this, I used to get the message "power ext cable not conneted to 9800se" whenever
the pc would abruptly restart.
Kindly help
