Can anyone tell me what this means? When I do a restart
the system beeps 1 long and 3 short and then hangs up.
Advise, thanks
 
Do you have any display on the monitor?

Dennis,

All BIOSs have different codes. Award BIOS was the only one I found with 1
Long, 3 Short beeps.

If the video seems OK, that leaves the memory.

Download >>
Memtest86 - A Stand-alone Memory Diagnostic
http://www.memtest86.com

It comes in a .zip file and so needs to be
1) unzipped
2) double-clicked to make a bootable floppy
3) boot with the floppy and the test will run immediately without user
input.
 
Thanks, I'll give a try.
