I was wondering if anyone else has this board and is having problems with it. I?m running it with a single p3 800 133 MHz bus. I have one stick ram, 256 megs PC-133 MHz. When I start it up, i get a 2 toned, constant beep, sounds almost like a busy signal of a phone. I shut it down and restart it and it boots up fine. Today, it happened twice and third time it booted up. I called Acorp tech support because there are no error codes in the manual, and the guy had no idea. I called tech support from compgeeks.com (where i ordered the board from) and the guy said that kind of beep is usually a thermal warning. This doesn't make sense because it happens when I turn the comp on in the morning. Also, I installed a hardware monitor. The CPU runs at like 28-30C idle and about 40C when running torture test in prime95. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any help.

don't laugh, but I had read over in 2cpu.com that the thermal warning was giving some troubles so when I got my Acorp board I disabled the thermal settings in the bios. Worth a try...btw, I am running a single 933 for now and I my geeks board rocks!

Found this post while doing a search for info on the same board. Did you ever get the beep figured out?
Mine is two days old now and running a PIII-700 with 384 and no problems, other than the RAID array search it does when booting up which adds another 15 seconds or so to the boot time. Wish I could get rid of that since I am only using a single drive.
