I have a Dell Dimension 3100/E310, and I turn on the computer and I hear six beeps and see no display. How do I fix this?

Beep Code: 2-2-2
 
Solution
If lights 1 & 2 are green: A possible expansion card failure has occurred.

1. Determine whether a conflict exists by removing a card and restarting the computer.
2. If the problem persists, reinstall the card that you removed, remove a different card, and then restart the computer.
3. Repeat this process for each card. If the computer starts normally, troubleshoot the last card removed from the computer for resource conflicts.
