My laptop lost power during a windows 10 update and now when i turn it on it shows the style note logo then goes black and a continuos beeping sound starts. Looking at the AMIBIOS beep codes this suggests i have a memory or video card failure. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

Memory - yes - just buy new ram and install it
Video card - probably not as they are most often soldered to the motherbd or integrated into the CPU. Some Gaming laptops be the only exception.
