    first if you go to the website for you motherboard you should be able to get the beep codes to tell you what's wrong with it. That's the first stop.

    However things to double check are that every card is actually secured correctly. make sure the ram is setting in propperly and not slightly askew. Also double check that your ide and floppy cables are all plugged in correctly with the red cable stripe matching up with pin 1.

    Do you hear a post beep after the first 3? I have seen that when computers dont have VGA connected but other than that the beeps dont sound too familiar.
