Maybe the memory sticks or the video card are making false contact. Check if both are properly placed and try again.
Good luck

Usually in the back of your motherboard manual there is a trouble shooting section that tells you what the beep codes mean.


You might try starting there..

I think 3 beeps is common on alot of computers now.
