Re: Computer and moniter issue

First, if you have a separate video card, make sure it's seated correctly and that all cables are tight. Has the computer or monitor been moved recently, that might have loosened or broken a connection?

The beeps can mean several things - it depends on the make of the computer and its BIOS. See here for some possibilities.

If it is a separate video card, can you find another to swap in to test? If the PC has onboard graphics, can you borrow a card to test with (make sure it's the right kind of connection for your PC - PCI, AGP, PCI-E)

All in all, it sounds like something you need to call in someone else to look at, if you're not very experienced or knowledgeable in hardware issues.

Re: Computer and moniter issue

The error comes due to General exception error. To reduce this error.The most accurate way to clear the CMOS after replacing your BIOS chip is to follow the steps below. Most boards do have a clear CMOS jumper but we recommend our method.
1. Remove the battery (use a pen or screw driver to lever it out).
2. Remove the power source (unplug or turnoff power supply).
3. Wait 30 seconds
4. Replace the battery being sure to insert it the correct side up...

If Nothin Works then your Cable itself might have become Faulty, Replace it but before that make sure u have someone Check the Other Stuff to Be Sure.
