hey, first check ur monitor cable, make sure u have attached it firmly to its socket.

then, try removing & reseating ur RAM

do u use a agp card or onboard video.........??

AWARD BIOS BEEP CODES
1 long, 2 short - Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information

Any other beep(s) RAM problem.

Alternating high & low (tones) beeps - CPU problem ........try removing & reseating ur processor

Unlock CPU Cover.
Clean Dust in Processor and RAM . (There must be Dust !! for this type of problm )
This should solve problem.

Also make sure than all PCI components are firmly attached

if u use a graphic card try removing & reseating it. Also remove any dust on the components (if any) ........as dust sometimes can prevent electrical connections
