Please help me get my 1 gig system running!!

[Androck99]

I'm putting together a 1 GHz T-Bird system with an A-Bit KT7-RAID, 32 Meg Radeon, Soundblaster Live X-Gamer 5.1, 30 Gig IBM Deskstar GXP75 and 256 Megs of RAM. I bought a retail T-Bird so it came with the heatsink and fan. Now, here's the problem. I put everything into an Antec SX830 case and when I tried powering up, I get this beeping noise and don't even get the BIOS screen to come up. I've checked all the connections and still have the same problem. What's going on?

How many beeps? If it beeps continuously try reseating your memory, or a different stick.

Make sure your memory and video card are really all the way in their slots. When they aren't in all the way, it will beep like that.

I know nothing about the mobo. Does it use dips or software FSB? If you adjust the FSB with dips double check that,voltage,ect to make sure you got the setting correct. If that doesnt work or you got software FSB try reseting the CMOS do this my diableing it for a few secs then enableing it. Look in your mobo manual for the CMOS jumper or info on how to reset it.

Also what spamboy said always double check everything ram,video card,ect.

Well the first thing you should do is take that sound card out. Install it only after everything else is running. Then check out

KT7 FAQ

From that site:

There are a number of beep code you may experience:

No beep at all - this means your motherboard is dead, either due to a defective or underpowered power supply, poorly seated CPU or RAM, or a dead-on-arrival board
One beep - board is working fine
Beeeeeep-beep-beep - this means no video card detected (or poorly seated video card)
A single tone, repeated over and over. This is a memory problem (could be the DIMM, the controller, or the CPU cache memory).
A two-tone siren, generally caused by overheating or out of specification voltages.
Rapid stream of beeps - this means a key is stuck on your keyboard, it is not properly plugged in, or the keyboard is incompatible in some way
The AWARD BIOS offers no other codes - any other error messages are displayed on the screen.

Wow, thanks for the responses! The sound is a single tone repeated over and over so I guess I'll check the ram again.
