Find out what that beep code means. That is, the mobo is trying tell you what the problem is. These should be in ur mobo manual (or go to the mobo maker's website).

Here's a link to a site with pretty much all the beep codes. You just need to know whther your BIOS are AMI or Award or whatever. If you don't know, just go into the BIOS, the name/type s/b at the top.

If the beep codes indicate ram, d/l and run Memtest86 a free diagnostic proggie for ram. Download here if needed <A HREF="http://www.memtest86.com/#commands" target="_new">http://www.memtest86.com/#commands</A>
