Upon going to start up my computer today it did not boot and began doing continuous short POST beeps, All case fans and lights were running including the GPU fan and the CPU fan.
Checked all of my connections were fully plugged in and they were.
Unplugged all SATA drives and booted, still continuous beep.
Removed all RAM and booted, no beeping.
Inserted 1 stick of 2GB RAM in first slot, no beeping.
Refreshed CMOS settings, no beeping.
Inserted second stick of 2GB RAM in second slot, no beeping.
Moved 1 stick of ram to the 3rd slot, with a black screen, the system gave normal initial post beep, then shortly after gave 2 POST beeps. Tried booting from motherboards VGA port, still black screen.
This high variance in POST beeps has me confused on what the actual issue is, if anyone has any suggestions for any solutions they would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I tried removing my GPU entirely and booting through motherboards VGA and was prompted with a CMOS error window, but it allowed
me to continue to windows, I replaced my GPU and it booted, restarted my computer and it failed to boot again. I booted my computer again
with the VGA connected to my monitor and it succeeded, its not a permanent fix as there is still obviously a problem somewhere but it will
help me keep my computer running until I can buy more parts come Cyber Monday.
