I struggled to locate the PC because no references came up. It features a Pentium 4 with RDRA, and I’m trying to get it working but keep hearing these sounds.
Relies on system information. Phoenix BIOS beep codes 1-3-3-1 indicate Autosize DRAM, which I don’t understand exactly, but it likely connects to RAM (possibly checking installed capacity). Check the beep codes here: https://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm. If you have multiple sticks, try removing all except one, possibly relocating the stick to another slot, and clean the contacts by sliding a paper clip through the slots to rub against them.
After reviewing the information carefully, I believe you're likely dealing with a VGA issue. It can be tricky to locate the correct codes, but perhaps replacing the old PCI VGA card or trying a different AGP 2X card might help. Even simply removing and reinserting the card could resolve the problem.
You might want to check the motherboard or CPU for any damaged pins.
Completely feasible, could stem from corrosion in the socket or even a capacitor nearing failure on the board. I recently reviewed several of my Socket A boards, and they clearly have a limited lifespan. Many of these outdated components clash poorly with one another, making compatibility a real challenge. It was one of the most frustrating experiences in the early 2000s when trying to assemble a stable system by combining parts—it wasn’t as seamless as it is today.
