Hello, I am having a problem with booting. I was playing game on my computer, then the screen went blue, and the computer shut down. Trying to restart, maybe 1 out of 10 times, it would boot properly, only to jam maybe 10-15 minutes into the following session. the other 90% of the time, I receive a beep code of: one long, and 2 short beeps. I only have an integrated graphics card, from 2002, so it can't be good. Would this be a video card issue, ram issue? any help would be appreciated, thanks.

That beep pattern is an indication of a video failure, but you have on-board video, so it probably has to do with your RAM.
I suggest you pop the cover & take a look inside the system for anything that strikes you as odd with the motherboard. Also try to clean the contact point on your RAM, that might get rid of any oxidation over time.

First I would suggest you install more RAM. Find out the manufacturer of your BIOS and check their web site to find out what the beeps mean.
