Is it possible for a faulty card to occasionally boot up properly?
Because thats what happening with me.........My card occasionaly boot up with no problem
but Occasionaly its starts with 1 long beep and 3 short beeps and then no display
I dont know if its really my GPU's fault.
Could it be My Motherboard or PSU ?:??: 
My Specs are:
i3 3220 Processor
Gigabyte H61M-DS2 DVI -Motherboard
4GB ram Kingston 1333Mhz
HD 6670 1 GB DDR5
PSU- Stock 500W
My system is almost 1.5yrs old.

PS. Sorry for my BAD English.

That beep sequence means faulty graphics card. Probably an intermittent fault on it so sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.

Before forking out for a new one, make sure it's firmly seated in the slot. Remove it then firmly push it back in and ensure it's seated level along the length of slot. Not seated properly would account for problem being intermittent.

Even better is if you have a compressed air can handy, give the slot a blast before you put the card back. If the slot has been empty for while prior to putting a card in it, dust and dirt can accumulate in it.
