Solution
The manual indicates that this motherboard has debug LED in addition to a speaker and or buzzer if you installed those.
Another document seems to indicate that three beeps is a memory fault. Your manual doesn't specifically say that aspect. The EZ debug light could/should also be lit on the DRAM indicator.

Would probably try to reset CMOS per the manuals direction. Check all the internal power connectors and such. See if it will boot.

List full specs of the machine.

Even if you were on a HDD and (perhaps) put it down too hard, bumped it, then it should still boot to BIOS or the screen that states no boot device.

That 3 beep code means something but would have to check specific mobo literature to know what.
