If you've tried a different GPU and monitor but have you tried a different cable? Id try resetting the CMOS

Yes sorry should have said that i did try a different screen with a different lead

ill give the cmos a try ,is it just a case of taking out the battery for a min then restating and putting back in .

Yeah that normally does it.

I think one long beep is a memory error. Have you tried one stick of RAM at a time?

Yeah check the memory, one long beep is memory error

I used to find that sometimes dust would settle in the RAM slots, try taking your stick out and give it a blow!
