If you ever get a prob like this always consult to your mobo manual to see what the beeps mean or on the website....it should let ya know somewhat why the beeps are occurring...i just built a system yesteday with the same board and had no problems with a 1.4tbird , geforce 2 mx400, 256mb pc2100...

just troubleshoot man everything you can think...the best way to start for anyone is to remove everything except the essientals meaning take out everything except for the video card and see what ya get....try reseating the cpu and memory...is your power supply at the MINIMUM 300w ?...and if so is it a quality psupply?....that board requires no jumpers to be changed so it couldnt be that....

if you done all of this and you still have problems take the mobo out and lay it on the static bag that came with it to see if you ahve a ground short and try booting it from there...just keep trying im sure that u will be ok..=]
