And just keeps doing a short beep then a long one. Anyone know what that means?

Probably a problem with RAM or video card. The link from espresso8097 is very helpful in finding what the code means. (You need to know what kind of motherboard/BIOS you have) espresso8097 Posted at 11:45 am on June 30, 2009 Depending on what BIOS you have it could mean different things. http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm oink Posted at 10:46 am on June 30, 2009 is this a computer you bought prebuilt? what make and model is it? redhotchilis64 Posted at 10:44 am on June 30, 2009 Sounds like a possible overheating.
