PC shows no image and beeps twice after boot

[Multimuffin]

I have reset my PC and deleted all files. Since I had two memory cards installed (one SSD and one HDD), I wanted to remove one and install the operating system on the other one (HDD). Up to this point, the computer was still working fine.

Then when I removed the memory card, the PC started beeping and no longer showed me a picture. I searched the internet for the beep codes and found out it was a parity error (2 beeps). Apparently it should be a faulty memory, which I can not imagine, because it was working fine before.

Another problem is that no image is displayed to me on the monitor and again, the monitor was working before and now it is not.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do?

It was a former Computer of a company which got sorted out.
I dont know what excatly you need but I assume that these two pictures should include the required specifications.

Since I had two memory cards installed (one SSD and one HDD),

HDDs and SSDs are storage devices and not memory cards, to avoid any mishaps you need to use the correct terminology.

Can I ask what you mean by " got sorted out "

[Multimuffin]

Sry my bad,
the computer I have is from an company that replaces their computers every couple of years (I think every 4) even though they’re completely fine.
Mine was also working for the last five years but after I tried to change the storage card, it started beeping and gives no image output

[phillpower2]

So you have had this ex business computer for the past five years and this problem only started after you had changed a storage device.

Just a fyi, SATA HDDs and SSDs are drives and not cards.

[Multimuffin]

Exactly and after I changed everything to its original state the error remained

Thanks for clarifying.

Some questions/suggestions for you;

Have you tried removing the CMOS battery for thirty minutes or so before putting it back in.

Do you get a No Signal message on the monitor.

GPU is a NVIDIA Quadro M4000,

The card requires a six pin supplemental power dongle from the PSU, is this securely connected.

Have you tried removing and reseating the GPU.

Have you tried the GPU in the second PCI-E slot.

Have you tried reseating the RAM.

Have you tried one stick of RAM at a time and in each one of the memory slots.

I’ve already tried these steps, even tried some other RAM sticks in case they’re all broken, changed the cmos battery (3V) and reseated the GPU and also tried switching it with another one.
The Monitor simply says “No signal“ and goes into standby after a while.

The thing that irritates me the most is, that everything was working normally, until I changed the Hard Drive which makes absolutely no sense in my opinion. Shouldn’t it at least booted into the BIOS?

Anything that you have already tried should have been mentioned in your OP, my typing skills are perfectly fine so no need for any needless practice

You getting a No Signal means that the screen is fine and that the problem is with the source of the video, this includes the GPU itself, the video cable and the system RAM or memory slots.

Can I just check that you have a keyboard connected, you not getting even a BIOS screen means that the computer is failing the power on self test ( POST ) and not having a keyboard connected can do that, PS/2 type keyboards are the best for troubleshooting but if you only have the USB type be sure to try another keyboard and connecting to every available USB port.

Shouldn’t it at least booted into the BIOS?

You access the BIOS and a computer has not booted until you are successfully booted into Windows or whatever OS you are using.

I am very sorry,
I have uploaded a link for a video so you can see how this procedure takes place. I don’t own a PS/2 type Keyboard but this keyboard should work.
