The link I gave seem to indicate maybe not the video card after some pulled it. One person said Dell told them a bad system board so who knows. Another said the beeps went away when all the USB stuff was pulled. Of course I'm just repeating what I read so I have no idea but I hope you will (if your customer tells you) what fixes it. Good Luck and thanks.

Good Luck and > thanks. Bad mobo came to my mind also, but the only way to find out is to replace that video card. I'll give the customer a call in a day or two if they don't get back to me. Bob
