3 beeps at boot - games crash...HELP!

At power up my system beeps three times with a pause between the beeps, then appears to boot normally. A load is on the system after each beep, as you can hear the fans slow down. I can be on the net for quite awhile, it might eventually lock up. However games lock up pretty quick. Sometimes quit to the desk top, sometimes reboot or lock up.

I reinstalled windows, even did a fdisk. Cleared cmos. Removed and reinstalled everything. Switched video card and hard drive. I am thinking motherboard, but how do I verify it?
Any help is really apprieciated.
