ISTR that a long beep plus two short beeps normally means that it has failed to initialize the video BIOS. If those are the three beeps you are hearing (rather than, say, two long and one short) then it might be worth checking to see if the video card is firmly plugged in. If it seems OK then try swapping it for another one.
