Signal errors

I have a question regarding about the signal. I would like to know what a "long beep" when turning on the system means. I know there are certain types of signal that let you know what type of hardware failure is it, but I just couldn't recall. I also know where is a URL that gives you the type of signal error. Thanks

One long beep and nothing else signifies a memory failure. This could mean that you inserted a memory module incorrectly or not all the way, or it could mean that a chip on one of your modules is bad. Look at the modules with a flashlight so you can clearly see if one of them is unseated in some way. If they're all in there fine, try taking out one of them and booting; if the beep stops, replace the one you took out, otherwise replace the other one or repeat for however many modules you have. If you only have one module, you know you must replace that one.
