There is a good chance that your motherboard BIOS is broken.

When the computer starts, the host computer emits one long and three short alarm sounds, and the monitor does not light up, which usually indicates a graphics card failure or a connection problem between the graphics card and the motherboard. Here are some suggested workarounds:
Power Failure Check: Turn off the computer, unplug the power cord, and press the power button to discharge residual current to ensure safe operation.
Check the graphics card connection: Open the computer case and check that the graphics card is properly installed in the PCI-E slot on the motherboard. If the graphics card is loose, reinsert and secure the graphics card.
Clean up the dust: Use a soft brush or hair dryer to clean the dust from the graphics card and slots to ensure good contact.
Reinstall the graphics card: Remove the graphics card and inspect its contact points for damage or contamination. If needed, you can use an eraser to gently wipe the contact points and then reinstall the graphics card.
Check the monitor connection: Make sure that the cable between the monitor and the graphics card is properly connected and is not loose or damaged.
Try a different monitor or graphics card: If possible, try connecting another monitor or using another graphics card to troubleshoot issues with the monitor or the display card itself.
Check the power supply**: Make sure that the power cord of the graphics card is properly connected and that the power supply** is normal.
Check the motherboard and memory: If none of the above methods can solve the problem, there may be a problem with the motherboard or internal memory. Try replacing the memory module or having the motherboard checked by a professional.
When operating, ensure safety and avoid touching sensitive components. If you are not familiar with these operations, it is advisable to seek the help of a professional.

Looking at the description below, your estimate is a motherboard issue!
1 Short: The system starts normally. Shows that there is nothing wrong with the machine.
2 Short: General error, please go to CMOS Setup and reset the incorrect options.
1 long and 1 short: There is an error in the memory or motherboard. Try to change the memory, if it still doesn't work, you have to change the motherboard.
1 long and 2 short: The display or graphics card is wrong.
1 long and 3 short: The keyboard controller is wrong. Check the motherboard.
1 Long 9 Short: Motherboard Flash RAM or EPROM error, BIOS corruption. Try a different block of flash ram.
Constant ringing (long sound): The memory module is not plugged in tightly or is damaged. Reinsert the memory module, or replace the memory.

1 Short: The memory refresh failed. Replace the memory module.
2 Short: The memory ECC verification error is incorrect. Setting the memory option for ECC check to Disabled in CMOS Setup will solve the problem, but the most fundamental solution is to replace a memory.

Summary. Three short and one long is the BIOS alarm sound of the award. Main workaround:
Unplug the memory module, plug it back in, and unplug the power cord and plug it back in. Clean the case dust, wipe the metal part of the memory module back and forth with an eraser, and plug it in. If the first two do not work, it proves that the memory module is damaged and needs to be replaced.
The computer emits three short and one long alarm sounds.
Hello, I am helping you to inquire about the relevant information and will reply to you immediately.
The computer emits three short and one long alarm sounds, which should be a problem with the memory module.
There is no memory module installed and it also alarms.
You should just try a new memory module.
If you don't have a memory module, of course, it will also call the police.

Changed or called the police.
That's troublesome, maybe the motherboard is damaged.
Hope it helps, thank you.

You can try it with data recovery software, but if you don't write new data to your card after formatting, you can use "easyrecovery" to recover after formatting option.
The most likely situation is that the hard disk has a bad sector, of course, there may be a problem with the power supply, change the power interface, change the data cable to try, if not, use the hard disk scanning tool to do a check.
