When I boot up a Prosignia P450 I get the following beep code: long-short-long-long followed by long-short-short. I have checked several sites, but there seems to be a differing of opinion's as to the cause. Does anyone have any ideas as to the meaning?

Sounds like multiple bios beep codes referring to
A:Memory
B:Video
However it could relate to video memory as well.
Recommendations:
Check the memory first, reseat or replce with known working memory.
Next, swap out the video card with either a PCI or ISA to eliminate a bad slot.
