I installed everything correctly (to the best of my knowledge. but when i turn it on it goes for a few seconds then starts doing the same 2 tones over and over. they keep going until i power the system back off.

Im using an nf7-s
512 mb pc 2700 stick of corsair ram
400W allied psu
128 mb evga geforce 4 ti 4800
and a athlon xp 2600

    update on my problem: I tried switchting out my ram and video card to ones that i know work, they both seem to work fine. Going to try to start it outside the case now.


    edit: still no luck with it out of the case, same thing. Now i need to figure out if its the cpu or motherboard. so i can figure out which one to replace. but i dont have extras for wither of those. can any one help me?

    Wait. It works with other ram and video? If so removing it from case isnt gonna help I bet. It would be in the ram or video. Try them one at a time till you get the culprit. Or did I not read your posts right?

    u didt quite read it right. i switched out the ram and video to ones i know work. and still no luck. But now after removing the battery and letting it sit for a few minutes it will boot outside the case. Ill post anything else i run into when i get there. Becasue i am sure to have more problems

    The "siren" noise is cause by the bios feature "shutdown when CPU fan failed".
    The bios cannot detect RPMs from your CPU fan so it shuts down and sounds the alarm.
    Disable this feature or update to latest bios.

    ok i got that problem licked but im not sure what settings to use in bios to have my cpu and ram at its right speeds since right now it only thinks its a 1250 mhz instead of atleast 2.08 ghz

    No thanks to Tex here. EQ deserves the Kudo's as usual. (grin) You just wern't getting feedback and I butted my big nose in as usual until real help arrived. Sorta like treading water until a lifeguard got there basicaly.
