Hello,

I tried accessing the boot menu on my pc today by pressing f12, and my pc turned off. When I turned it back on it kept beeping 3 times with the last 2 closer to eachother.

Specs: nvidia gtx 760, intel i5 4440 and a single 8gb ram card

I tried removing my ram card and putting it back in, that did not work.

3 beeps is normally telling you that the RAM has a problem:

Once again remove the RAM from the slot, clean it and place it back properly or try another slot.

Check if you are able to get the display from the on-board VGA.

You might also try removing the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS.

Good Luck

Okay I fixed it.
And I feel dumb.

The thing was that by pressing f12 the menu opened on both screens at the same time and then it shut off.

Now, after removing and plugging everything back in, I decide to boot with only one screen attached.

Guess what. It works.
