Hey guys, I got home from work today and discovered my computer frozen. When I rebooted my system did not POST or beep. After troubleshooting for 2 hours I finally found a suspect. When I remove all devices from the computer except for PSU and CPU I get 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. After searching the web for the AMI BIOS beep codes I found that the code meant:

1 long, 2 short Failure in video system An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered

Since my video card isn't even plugged in, I can safely assume it is not the culprit, but the Video BIOS ROM is messed up.

Now that I have found the problem, I have no idea how to fix it.

Any suggestions?

Well, it might seem that you got that error because there was no video card installed. The mb bios polled the vid card circuit and did not receive a proper reply.
