Continuous, high-pitched beep on boot

[lookin4dlz]

Hi, my computer crashed with a BSD with the message "kernal data inpage error". I tried to reboot & Windows XP apparently attempted recover, with onscreen messages indicating that it was recovering certain hard drive structures. On the next reboots, Windows XP tried to start but there was another very quick blue screen that popped up before the system rebooted.

Now on boot I'm getting a continuous beep, so I've swapped out all components (incl. PSU) except the CPU & video card (although I did put new thermal compound on the CPU & reseated both the CPU & video card.) I also totally rebuilt the computer outside the case on an anti-static pad to make sure the motherboard wasn't touching the case. The motherboard is a Gigabyte ga-965p-ds3 using an Award bios, which doesn't have much information about the beep codes on the Internet.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

long continuous beeps usually indicates a memory related problem....

try removing and reseating the modules... I would retry with only 1 stick to start.. and try in different slots...to see if that's the problem

ditto on that. if that doesn't work, try removing all non-essencial pci and pcie cards, resetting cmos (maybe even remove the battery), and try with one stick of ram again. If you have to- go through all the slots with one stick and then proceed to the same slot-testing with another; one at a time though.
