Strange error beeps!!

[singhvi]

I built a new system using Gigabyte MA790DS4H motherboard, AMD triple core black processor 2.4 GHz. Upon powering up, the system gives 3 sets of 3 beeps, then the processor fan almost powers down, then gives the regular OK beep and then the system starts up normally.
This happens everytime I power up. It doesnt happen when I reset using ctrl.alt.del.
Any ideas?
thanks.
Anil.

found this in google with search keyword "BIOS error beep codes"

You have to know which BIOS your motherboard is using

Thanks. I did see that also when I was googling it as well. However 3 sets of 3 beeps arent described anywhere!!

3 beeps can't be a good thing, I'm sure it's common among most motherboards.
