I m having 1 long and 2 short beeps when i boot up....i had this problem earlier i just removed my graphics card and put it back... This solved the issue back then but now its not helping...
My pc was working perfectly but yesterday when i started it, it starts with 1 long and 2 short beeps and nothing displays on screen....
My graphic card is working all the lights and fans r running perfectly but still its not working....i tried putting it back several times but its no use....
I used another PCI-e slot on mobo it displayes the boot menu but its a x8 slot....
So is my x16 slot got corrupt???

My specs:
CPU - AMD FX-8350
GPU - Sapphire RX 570 4GB (factory OC)
Ram - Kingston 8 GB DDR3@1600Mhz
Mobo - Gigabyte 970a - DS3P
Storage - 2 TB HDDs
 
If the GPU works fine at other slot (I would make a full gaming test to make sure), it does seem like a problem with PCIe slot. You can try to clean it with compressed air, maybe it's just some dust. If that won't help, you would either need to run GPU from second slot, or swap mobo.

I tried using compressed air too but nothing happened the upper x16 slot still has the same issue....
The bottom one works though but its only a x4 , i think running in x8 but the performance in that slot is slightly less
