I turned my PC on tonight and as usual it went through it's post boot check and I was greeted with 1 long beep and 3 short beeps and no display on the TV which usually displays the PCS logo as it boots into Windows 11. I powered the PC down and tried again as I've had it fail to boot before occassionally in the years that I've had it but after a power down and restart it this had usually fixed any glitches. Tonight was however different as the same error beeps occurred. I've googled this and it looks like it could be a GPU error.

Anyone have any suggestions before I need to return it back for checkup and repair if needed?

Are all the settings on the tv ok, IO know what modern tv's are like for updating software and screwing things up, also check all the connections and reseat the GPU

When things like this happen to me, I shutdown, unplug the HDMI port from the TV and reboot. If the system comes back fine on just the monitor then it may not be the GPU...

Got up this morning and unplugged the machine. Unseated the graphics card and the memory and plugged them all back in and hey presto seems to be working okay again. Think it might have had too much of a had a bit of a New Year Hangover but seems to be back to okay today. Will keep and eye on things
