Dell studio 530s two beeps and no video

[rjdlnd]

I recently put my dell studios 530s away for a month while redecorating, when I hooked it up I get 2 beeps and no video, I tried pulling the ram and replacing one at a time, still nothing. Fans run fine and I can hear the hard drive running. I was using HDMI but tried the VGA cable, still nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi - this is a bit of a late reply, but if you have onboard graphics, and you've also got a video card installed, your BIOS may have reverted back to the onboard graphics setting. If that's the case, and you have your monitor connected to the video card, you'll get no video.

If any of the above applies, check your BIOS for the video setting to see if it's correctly set.
