Bios beeps

[Carl]

Hi Yall
Can someone direct me to a site that would tell me what all the different
Bios beeps stand for?
One of the family here is haveing a startup problem sometimes. Not all the
time.
Once in a while it will lite up but does not start,power lite stays on but
that is all.
sometimes it will not start up and get one long beep and then it just sets
there.
I haven't been around it when this happens so am just qouteing.
Thanks a bunch

Most commonly you get beeps if your monitor cord is not connected
properly, your ram is not being seen or your AGP video card is loose in
the slot.
