Ok, so my uncle recently passed away and he left a Medion PC.
He's put a new GFX card in it, and another disk drive. It's running Windows ME. Sometimes, it'll start fine, but then if I restart it it'll just keep beeping at me, it'll be a long constant beep until I turn it off, any ideas?

It has 128MB ram [shocking! is old though]

Also, sometimes the monitors don't pick up any video signal, even when the PC it turned on, wondering if this is the graphics card?

What'd be best to do with this PC?
Spares?
I've tried Linux; but it's not having it :P

Put Windows 3.1 on it.

Yep i agree with British.. Sell it for spares or save it to remember your uncle.

You could always try Freecycle if you don't want it? Loads of people ask for broken PC's to use for spares on there.

Reseat the graphics card and the beep wil be a POST Warning thing, so check which bios you have and what the beep means :P
