can you Identify where the 3 beeps are coming from? is your monitor plugged in? have you tried replacing the cable?

what video card do you have? Try plugging the cable into the video out on you motherboard and see if you get a picture then

I'm pretty sure 3 short beeps mean a RAM problem. Try swapping out your RAM one by one to find the broken DIMM.
