gigabyte motherboard will not boot. Constant beep

One long beep is (usually) a memory error.

Could be anything from a bad contact with the mobo, to memory on its way out.

Try reseating the RAM in the motherboard, see if that helps

I finally removed the mb from the case disconnected all connections except 12 & 24 pin power, cpu fan and power switch. One memory strip and now whn I apply power, there is a constream of short beeps. Any suggestions??

The POST beeps indicate the following:
1 short: System boots successfully
2 short: CMOS setting error
1 long, 1 short: Memory or motherboard error
1 long, 2 short: Monitor or graphics card error
1 long, 3 short: Keyboard error
1 long, 9 short: BIOS ROM error
Continuous long beeps: Graphics card not inserted properly
Continuous short beeps: Power error

I removedthe cmos battery for 30 minuted and it cleared up. I reinstalled in case and tried it. Continous beeps returned. This is getting the better of me. ANY MORE SUGGESTIONS?
