Computer won't boot up; 1 long beep with 2 short beeps repeated

[crimson-pc12]

I just built a new computer (1st time) and when I turned it on for the 1st time, no windows installed or anything, and it wouldn't show up on screen and there were no beeps, everything was working, all the fans were on, even the graphics card fan was on. I rearranged everything. Nothing. Then I re-installed the processor, and beeps could be heard! Now what do the beeps mean? The graphics card works, I tried it in a different computer and it showed up and booted up. Can someone please help!

consult the manual it will tell you what the beep code means the good thing is your getting a beep code..

Starting up for the first time
1.
After making all the connections, replace the system case cover.
2.
Ensure that all switches are off.
3.
Connect the power cord to the power connector at the back of the system chassis.
4.
Connect the power cord to a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.
5.
Turn on the devices in the following order:
a.
Monitor
b.
External SCSI devices (starting with the last device on the chain)
c.
System power
6.
After applying power, the system power LED on the system front panel case lights up.
For systems with ATX power supplies, the system LED lights up when you press the
ATX power button. If your monitor complies with the “green” standards or if it has a
“power standby” feature, the monitor LED may light up or change from orange to green
after the system LED turns on.
The system then runs the power-on self tests (POST). While the tests are running, the
BIOS beeps (refer to the BIOS beep codes table) or additional messages appear on
the screen. If you do not see anything within 30 seconds from the time you turned on
the power, the system may have failed a power-on test. Check the jumper settings and
connections or call your retailer for assistance.
