Help with P4S800 MOBO BEEP

[Guest]

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.

This won't help much, but you might try removing the
video card and the RAM, and see if the beep sequence
changes at all. You could have some bad RAM.

I hope you have been unplugging the computer while
adding or removing components inside the case. The
+5VSB continues to run, if you don't switch off the
computer at the back of the case, or you didn't unplug
it just to be safe. Always make sure all powered is
removed, before working inside the computer. Since
one person in this group, had his PSU continue to
run, even when the switch was turned off on the
back of the computer, only unplugging the computer is
totally safe.

HTh,

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
