Help with P4S800 MOBO BEEP

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.asus (More info?)

I've had the board up and running for a while, but now all I get is one
long beep that repeats itself. I have no video, the fans all work. What
does the warning beep mean, and is there a troubleshooting page for this
MBO.

Thanks to both of you for your help. I did rotate some different memory
into the board and I've got it up and running. Now I just need to figure
out a hard drive issue.

Thanks again
