How are we supposed to help if we don't know what computer you have? Different brands have different beep codes by the way. Give us the full model number.

here is hp's troubleshooting page for desktop pc beep codes.

my guess is a failed graphics card. try removing the add in graphics card and using the video connector on the motherboard's i/o.

I didn't mean to make your answer the bedt solution but.. Some guys told me that my bios version is not compatible with my gpu, how do i upgrade my bios? I'll have to put my old gpu back and do it through the pc?

yes, if it works with the old one, reinstall it.
