My computer has been working fine but yesterday it spit out a postcode which was 1 long beep 2 short beeps. I looked it up on my phone and couldn't find anything about it. After restarting it a third time it booted like normal. Today I come home and it does the same thing but this time it won't boot it just keeps on giving me the postcode. I have a msi a78m-e35 motherboard and I don't have the original manual to look them up in. Thanks

Try reseating the RAM.

 

1 long 2 short usually indicates a video problem, so try doing something about that.

I unplugged both monitors from my graphics card and plug the one vga monitor to the motherboard and it doesn't give the code anymore but it doesn't display anything
