You also posted this thread in the Windows forum, although the problem has nothing to do with Windows. Please don't cross post.

OK,
The beeps mean different things with different BIOSs.
Ive got these 3 out of my MotherBoard's Manual:

AWARD BIOS - Continous Long Beeps:
DRAM Error

AWARD BIOS - Continous Short Beeps:
Power Error

AMI BIOS - 3 Beeps:
Base 64K Memory Failure

You'll need to find out what BIOS you have, its probably either one of them or PHOENIX BIOS. They're the 3 Main BIOSs at the moment I think. If you have one of those BIOSs, try fixing the error if possible. Good Luck!

an easy way to look up your beep codes is to check the manual that came with your mainboard. it will have all the necessary information on beepcodes, then come back and tell us what the beep code means.
