POST/beep error code

My soltek SL-75DRV5 with an Athlon XP 2000+ stopped booting after I ran Redstorm overclocking. My FSB was at 140 HMz before I restarted. It told me to reboot and it didn't start back up after I did. I have no video. My speaker makes an interesting beep code. The hard drive LED on the front is solid for awhile, but the LED on the hard drive turns off momentarily after I start. The keyboard lights blink right as the beeps start. The sounds may be 1 long, 2 short in quick succesion or 1 long. This is followed by a short beep in the same tone and a short beep in a low tone. The last two beeps sound like the computer is saying uh-oh (literally). I have looked for the meaning of these codes, but all I can find is that the first means a video card error. I have tried every possible combination of a PCI and AGP card in the system. I have cleared the CMOS more times than I can count. I know the PCI video card worked in a virtually identical system. Any help woule be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

System Specs:
Soltek SL-75DRV5 (Via KT333)
512 MB of Mushkin DDR2700 (333) memory
Award v. 6 BIOS
Athlon XP 2000+
SIS 315 AG315T 64 MB video card (set at 4x, can be set to 2x mode)
 
O.K. when you cleared the CMOS did you unplug the system, press the power button to clear any charge being held and leave it on clear CMOS for a good while like say 1 minute or even longer? If so then try pressing the insert key while powering on. Another thing to try is to remove and unplug everything(including HDD,DVD,ect...) except the vid card and ram and just try to get it to post as It could also be the PSU is dying. Good luck and let me know how your getting on.
 
I think thats a memory crap out code... 🙁 (meaning to high fsb for the timing setting) I have found that on some boards you need to power down (power switch off or unplugged) and leave the bios shorting jumper on for a little while...? (dont ask but I have a certain board that requires me to do this...?) Give it a good 15-20min then try to power up... best of luck... 😉
