Are they short beeps? How many?
Have you tried re-seating your Video card?
Beeps at boot-up usually indicate bad Video card or memory.
If you can try your Video card in another pc or try another Vid card in your pc ,might help you narrow down the problem.

You get different beeps from different Bios, heres a link to some of those beep errors

well i have put new ram in recently, and had trouble with it at first, but these beeps was short and continueous, then i had my ATI 9200 saying i had a VPU Recover due to a fault with graphics or something error like that, my old pc doesnt take AGP so i cant test that card on it

Did you check out the link Geekgirl posted.
Go there and look for your BIOS and see what the error could be.

robbo,

if i remember correctly you had several questions in the past about overclocking..were you overclocking anything in this system?

Do you have a pci vid card from your old machine to try in your new one?

*The beep codes are represented in the number of beeps. E.g. 1-1-2 would mean 1 beep, a pause, 1 beep, a pause, and 2 beeps.

Did you happen to notice your temps when its acting up and when it boots?Could be overheating.

by **robbro** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 4:11 pm

temps looked normal around 40-50 C 100 and something F. and when it booted up was just acting up a lot.
