| 1485216 | 2022-03-30 04:11:00 | This old PC fails to start up INTERMITTENTLY with 1 long beep and 3 short beeps. Pressing the power button and restart it usually gets it to start up properly. It works perfectly OK when it's started Win10's inbuilt Memory test found no errors. I am now running Mem86 v4.3.7 from CD to test the memory. How many hours should I run the test? Any other suggestions? I have removed both the RAM sticks, cleaned and re-seated. Update: Asus MB Z87-C |

| 1485217 | 2022-03-30 05:26:00 | A google search suggests a GPU error, do you have an add in graphics card ? If so check any power connections and maybe reseat it, check for build up in the heatsink etc. I've also found changing the CMOS battery can be worth a try on older systems for all kinds of weird behaviour. |

| 1485219 | 2022-03-30 05:42:00 | ASUS Site says: 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps is a graphics-related error. If you get the same beep code, this could be a possible bad motherboard or processor. |
