I recently built a system, specs - Asus M2N-MX MoBo, AMD Athlon 64X2 3800+ CPU, 1Gb RAM, 80Gb Sata HDD, LG Dual Layer DVD-RW. When I first put it all together, I couldn't install XP, (it kept throwing up cannot copy file errors during copying files process). Thats all well and good. I found out that was a problem with the ram. But before i could replace the ram, I switched the machine on and i got 1 Long 2 Shorts beeps, and I can't get into BIOS. Now my BIOS is Award, and the beeps mean a video error. I was using the onboard vga port, so I got a PCI-E video card, installed that, plugged my monitor into that, and I'm still getting the same beeps. I've even re-seated the video card a couple of times but still no change. Does this mean my MoBo is dead now or is there anything I can do to resurrect it?? Please, can someone help me??
