Epox MB problem, award bios one long beep

[UncleWai]

as title

I tried switching the ram and the video card, still does that.

The first time it booted up fine, except I inserted a faulty ide cable.
I let my friend handled it since it's his computer.
Now the system won't post and give me this long beep error.

I searched google and found it's a memory problem. But how come even using the ram in my current system, it still wouldn't work.

You probably already saw this but atleast it will give you a bump... Sorry can't help more.

What do beep codes mean?

Beeps codes are the audio beeps that the motherboard will output when your system has a problem. Generally they can be used to identify some problem (usually associated with a non booting system). Below are some basic beep codes and their possible meanings:

one long and 3 very short beeps - video related
continuous beeps - memory related
no screen and no beep - CPU related
