Hello, my computer has been running fine however today i purchased a new motherboard. i took out the original gigabyte 78lmt usb3 but i forgot to put my picture albums on to a pen drive. So i installed the motherboars back in and plugged in the connections and ram however when i switch on the power and turn the computer on, i now get continuous long beeps and nothing shows on my monitor. all the fans and processor seem to be working and i have swapped the ram to another slot but it still keeps the long continuous beep. please please please please please please help :( i just want my pictures saved so that i can install my new motherboard and processor.
thanks

Recheck the memory module. If you have more than 1 try one at a time. It is a possibility that if you did not ground yourself to protect against static you could have fried the memory module.

Check all connectors if they're properly connected and try again.

You could take your HDD, go to a friend and ask him to backup your files and then install the new MB and processor and then install your OS.
Or, if you have an OS partition on that HDD and if your pictures are not on it, you can wipe only that partition and install OS there.
