When i try to boot up my pc i get a long beep followed by a long pause and then another long beep and a pause and so on.

Any help to what this may mean would be greatly appreciated.

I had encountered a long continuous beep and one long beep before. I found out it was from the system memory. Try to reseat the memory modules/sticks several times into their slots. Or your system might have a bad stick or bad dimm slot. It's better to clean its gold contacts first with a pencil eraser before testing it in different slots. Or test the sticks in another system. If it still persists, test and clean your video card too.
