The graphics driver has failed and needs updating
The RAM modules are not properly seated or have failed.
The presence of long, repeated beep codes during startup is indicative of a hardware issue related to the motherboard POST process. Of the given answers, the POST beeps are likely from RAM that is not properly seated. It could also be another hardware component like the CPU or a video card having issues. POST codes indicate unrecoverable hardware issues within internal components of a computer during boot up.
