Hey everyone, my computer suddenly shut down and now it beeps when I try to turn it back on. It's making one long beep followed by two short beeps. I've seen conflicting information about what this means. There's also a white light on my motherboard, specifically the EZ debug LED, which indicates a VGA issue. I removed the graphics card, but that didn't solve the problem. What should I do next?

Have you tried reseating your RAM sticks? Sometimes, just pulling them out and putting them back in can help resolve boot issues.
Could you share your system specs? Knowing your CPU type, like the Intel Core i5-12400F you mentioned, can really help in troubleshooting.
It sounds like the beeping is related to a graphics issue, and just unplugging the GPU might not fix it. The motherboard only shows simple warning signals, so it may be worth looking into how your motherboard handles graphics instead of jumping to other components like the hard drive.
When you try rebooting, are you able to enter the BIOS at all? If you can get in, you might want to run a system recovery or backup; sometimes a graphics driver update can cause this issue. If you're not able to see anything on the screen and it just beeps, that could point more toward the graphics hardware.
