EDIT: I found out the problem.


Its been 2 months since I've turned on my comp, I had the AM2 retention bracket break on me and I finally was able to find the part I needed.

So with the new bracket, I've turned on my comp. The mobo keeps beeping, a sort of ambulance type beep. CPU temps are fine and everything is connected I'm sure. I can access the bios and stuff. The only problem I've ever had with this computer was the retention bracket breaking on the motherboard, which is just a plastic piece (I have since replaced it). I have cleared the CMOS at least 5 times by now.

Specs:
Abit NF-M2
AMD Opteron 1212
1GB G.Skill DDR2 800
550 Watt PSU with plenty of amps
NVIDIA GeForce 6600

I am sure this is not a PSU related problem. Is it possible the mobo is beeping because of a fan or something?

look in the manual or download one for your mobo, in it it will tell you what the beeps are telling you.
there are different types of beeps for memory, general hardware, etc..
