So I woke up the other morning to my tower not working.
It has worked find the night before.
Now it just beeps.
2Short beeps, 1Long Beep 5times over.

This is what i found at a HP website.

2 short beeps and 1 long beep (repeats 5 times) Unable to initialize video or video card required but not installed

Now im really not big into computer's or know a whole lot about fixing them.
But im a bit short on cash, and im using a peice of shit computer right now.
I was wondering if anyone has had these problems. and could possibly give me a little info.

Yes, Ive opened the box, the video card seems to be securely in place, and all fans seem to be in working order.

Yea it's easier.

Lego's have like a bunch of little pieces and shit and you never know what to make with them

comps is straight forward it only fits in 1 slot

:/ got another computer lying around? you could try placing it in there, just to see if you can see BIOS etc with it. Or you could try a video card from a different comp in that one (just to see if BIOS etc, don't try to load windows with the switched cards). That's of course assuming they have the same slots.
