I am having a problem with an a7v, the mobo wont post, all it does is bleep, I have tried everything I can think off any clues ?

Try reseating the video card.

Continuous beeps (more than 3) indicates a problem with the RAM. Make sure that your DIMMs are seated correctly. You may want to check each DIMM separately if they are all in correctly, as you may have a dead stick.

I have tried different vid cards and memory still this beeping continues, any other ideas ?

Hmm seems the problem is due to me scratching a motherboard trace with the bottom of the retention clip, damn I wish they would use the same wire as the alpha pep66 instead of these difficult to remove clips
