Gateway ZX4970 Beeps 3 times, No video, VGA chip overhead, CPU Stays Cold, switch mem

[Blacktek]

Hi friends, I need help with this all in one desktop. I switch multiple memory cards with same result.
the computer turns on, i hear 3 fast beeps, twice so 6 beeps, then it shuts downs..IT Restarts again with the 3 fast beeps..Then it stays ON but NO VIDEO.

I took it apart and notice the VGA Chip gets extremely hot but the CPU stays cold. like cold cold.

Could this be a Corrupted BIOS?

I have one just like this. I took off the motherboard and when I was measuring near DC jack suddenly current changed and it turned on. Later it stopped working again, just the beeps. But sometimes it starts normally. Maybe its the northbridge. I'm still checking but hope this anyway helps.
