strange beeps when booting

Nov 7th, 2003

When I turn on my PC it sounds like a Poilce Siren in England. Alternating tones/beeps. I don't know if this is a power supply issue or what. The machine doesn't seem to boot either, just sits there and has the siren sound blaring.
Please help.

Thanks

I swapped out the CPU and fan, it made no difference. Could it be something with the mother board or anything else?
