I've had my current configuration for about 3 or 4 months now, and yesturday my computer started randomly restarting and my motherboard now beeps at me. I reduced my setup to the motherboard, cpu(tbird 1400), videocard (visiontek gf2GTS), and ram (cruciall 2100). The beep is a 2 -3 second beep that repeats over and over. I'm pretty sure it's either the ram or the motherboards fault, but does anyone know what that beep code means? It's an award bios. Again, this computer worked fine for months, and nothing else unusual happened yesturday other than this that would cause it. Thanks

edit: I've tried the ram in all different slots, no help though.

Most likely the ram. I have the same setup these days and whenever i overclock the fsb too high it will start rebooting I think the ram is getting too hot because the cpu temps is still cool. Do you have another Mb you can test the ram in? ( the ecs board is still running great by the way)

It beeps for 2 or 3 seconds, then it rests for less than a second, then repeats. They're simply repeating long beeps.
