Have you taken the battery out of the motherboard for ~5 mins and put it back in?

I think the P5N32-E runs on a Pheonix BIOS, in which case a continous beep is for PSU issues, if that is the case when you put in the graphics card, what card are you running and how powerful is your PSU because it sounds like its not coping/has died.

/Edit The 1 long and 2 short that you get with no video card means bad video card.

i have a Corsair 620w PSU and an 8800GTX i dont see how i could have blown the PSU or the Graphics card by changing the Memory timings and Clock speed... lol anyways, i have RMA'd the RAM to see if thats the problem.... i will go from there.

Do you have the 4 pin lead connected to the mobo and both connecters on your graphics card connected.

Sounds like what I had a few weeks ago (same mobo).

Turned out to be a dodgy stick of RAM.
