Please refer to Asrock's Technical Reference Q&A PDF here, particularly question #2. Based on your description, it sounds like your issue is either an improperly seated memory module or a problem reading your keyboard. If I had to guess, I'd say it was a memory issue.

Try removing and firmly reseating your memory stick(s) into their motherboard slots and see if this resolves the issue. Make sure your computer is shut off and the power cord is unplugged, to avoid electric shock or interference.

If you are unsure, or uncomfortable doing this on your own, I'd suggest having a computer repair professional do this (or, at the very least, someone familiar with computer hardware).

These beeps indicate a hardware issue. In this particular case, it is telling you that there is something wrong with the RAM modules on the motherboard. Unplug your computer, open it up and try removing the RAM and powering back up to see if the beeps stop. If they do, then insert one RAM module at a time and power up after each one. When the beeps start again, you will be able to determine which ram module is the culprit.

Hi.

3 long beeps means there's a problem detected with the keyboard. Remove the keyboard and turn the computer on and see if it boots up. Also a good idea is to make sure the system memory is seated properly in the slots.

I have A desktop motherboard model asrock m266a,when i start it it will have 3 long beeps and stops for a while and another 3 long beeps

Usually 3 beeps indicates a problem with Ram, storeage. If you have more than one stick, you can pull them out, then replace one at a time back in, in your different slots , and restart each time, and see results. you may want to pull out all sticks and restart and see if code is the same.

My asrock m266a having problem with the graphic card

Any card with an AGP interface is supported, just that the power of a new video card is severely limited by the capabilities of the motherboard and everything else on it (processor, memory, hard disk).
Ge-force FX5500 256MB is a good card but you can get something a little more powerfull, something like

Can asrock m266a support geforce 8600gt

Dear hiran89

Please see the specification of your motherboard at the following link of Asrock. It supports only up to AGP 4x.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=M266A

The 8600GT GPU does not come in AGP setups only PCI-Express. In general even if you were to have this card then the rest of your system would bottleneck the capabilities of the card.

My advice is to buy something more suited to the system you own such as a RADEON RX2600PRO, GEFORCE 7600GT,..but still these may be still more than the system deserves right now.

Saying this the most powerfull graphics card now in AGP are the ones below

GEFORCE 7900GS, 512MB DDR3
ATI HD 3850, 512MB GDDR3
