Problem with bios or video on the motherboard
When my computer started i can't see anything good.
First i have on beep codes 1 time
Second monitor show my diferent colors lines from up to down.
(windows now is not startet it is DOS). If i do nothing windows get started, but screen will be with lines. Monitor works good. i think it is aproblem with BIOS. Shared memory which must be 16Mb but now (?).
How can i reset BIOS in very old compiuter about 1999 and repair if i can't see anything.

Maby put new video card in slot, change bios and removed video card from slot. But i dont know how tow video cards works in one computer together, in old computer there no swichers for video on the motherboards.
