Default post beeps

Hi,
I have an older hp computer that won't start up. I'm not getting on my
monitor and the computer is giving a long beep followed by a pause, then
another long beep, pause, etc. Anyone have any idea what the problem could
be? TIA

Thanks for the responses. I reseated the video card and it took care of the
problem.
