not familiar with that exact beep pattern... you've triple checked that video card and ram is seated properly? If so, remove, and check one more time.

rechecked my vid card and ram, video card was out alittle...now I get 1 beep.

 

[salman327]

Actually I get 1 beep...and then like 4 seconds later I get 2 beeps followed by another beep

Consult the MoBos manual or the manufacturers website regarding the meaning of the beep-code...

Is the processor seated properly/correctly?

Thing is the beep codes are always changing. 4 beeps indicates system timer failure. Not sre about that though. Yes, the cpu is seated correctly

About the only thing i can think of off hand is your ram isn't seated correctly. DDR ram is really difficult to seat. I nearly rma'd a stick of crucial before trying one last time to get it to work. Pressed down really, really hard and it worked.

Hope that helps

Pressed down really hard. Heard the things click. Pressed down harder so that it looked like the mobo was bending a lot. Turned on. Same prob

Double and triple check the jumper settings. Test components such as video card, RAM and Cpu in another system if possible. Call tech support . If none of that works, or you can isolate the motherboard as the problem, RMA it.

contact your mobo manufacturer

Okay I checked it out, and It boots, but it says on screen "Cmos settings wrong", "Cmos cache wrong" and then it says hit f1 to run setup.

Switched cmos jumper. Instead of cmos settings wrong I now get cmos battery low. The heatsink feels hot as hell too.
