Answers:
Those beep are telling you it's a graphics card problem.

Unplug PC, spread out the case, remove VGA connector consequently pull out the graphics card. Inspect for bloated capacitors, burn grades on the pins, burnt smell and if disciple blades still rotate. If everything checks out OK, clean the pins by rubbing beside the eraser tip of a pencil. Re-install card. If still it does not work, test it within another PC before you condemn it to the thrash bin. If the card works within another PC, something is wrong with your graphics expansion port.
Try passage the computer and making sure the graphics card (or anything else for that matter) is completly pushed into the motherboard. Sometimes they can come a little loose.
One long sound the horn and three short ones usually means the video card have failed and desires to be replaced.
try removing your graphics card and using the integrated graphics, and see if your computer boots up ok, if not, later its not your card, it could be anything from hard drive dead loss, cpu, ram, power supply.
Testing:
Remove the Grafix Card and Turn your PC again.. and see if like Error Code is signalled.

Then determine if you should go to ebay :).
The motherboard company would recount you what the beeps show. Try to reinstall the graphics card into the computer, if that does not work then try to borrow a friends. Just to take home sure it is the graphics card and not just the slot on the motherboard.
