Tech help: computer makes long beeping noise when activated

My computer is making a long, continuous beep when powered on. One possible issue according to a quick Google search is a bad monitor or video card; I tried swapping out the card with no luck. The monitor is next, but what are some other possibilities? There have been no prior issues.

Computer is a 4 year old home build with an EVGA graphics card, Intel quad-core processor and Samsung monitor.

Thanks.

Did you try reseating the RAM, booting with one stick or installing new RAM?

Yeah, and that booted to a message telling me to reset memory. Progress!

Thanks.
