Hey guys, thought I'd post about this, to vent and maybe there's someone out there who has experienced this.
I just got a brand new Asus P4B266 motherboard, a P4 1.6ghz proc, 512mb ddr 2100 memory, a 60gb hard drive, new case, etc...
So I plug everything in, and I turn it on. The pc speakers makes this horrible high pitched beeping noise, so I turn it off. I look in the motherboard manual for the beep code, and the closest I can find is continuous long beeps (bad ram), which is kinda like this, but this is really just one continous beep, not lots of long ones. So I went out today and bought new ram (it's hard to find someone with a tester for ddr ram), and that didn't help. I can take everything out and it still does the same thing. I'm assuming it's the motherboard, and right after I call Asus on Monday I'm planning to send it back. Anyone with similar experiences? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.
