try looking in your motherboard manual for troubleshooting, it should say what the different possible beeps mean. when you find what it says is wrong come back and say, then we can try helping you correct the problem.

Hard drive errors have a habit of stopping a PC right there.

When you tried another HDD, did you try booting with a Windows Installation CD ?

Like I said hard drive have a habit of stopping post in this place, do all your HD's show in the BIOS ok?
CD_Rom can cause issues too if they are messing around so disconnect them and try again, it's trial and error. |
