That is a POST error indicating your keyboard is malfunctioned or your power supply is going out.

Usually that beep pattern would have to do with a bad connection between the power supply and the motherboard or something wrong in the power supply. You might make sure the power supply is connected properly to the motherboard. (unplug and replug the white connector coming from the power supply. It usually is a 4 pin plug about 1 inch long)
If that doesn't help, you may want to make sure there is nothing wrong with the power supply.

Sounds as if you have a video card issue. You may need to replace it. If it's onboard, you may get away with installing one, but you'll have to disable the onboard.
Could also be a memory issue for an onboard video card as they share memory.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it, it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software.
