Hi Guys,

As with the title, i have put together a htpc with the below motherboard but it wont boot, i have tried to find out what these beeps would represent but there is a lot of conflicting info online, has anyone had this before and could possibly point me in the right direction please?

Abit AN-M2HD -Socket AM2 Digital Home Motherboard

Thanks in advance

from the Abit website it uses the Award bios, here are the codes
Award BIOS Beep Codes
Award BIOS uses beeps of varying duration. A long beep will typically last for 2 seconds while a short beep will last only 1 second. Award BIOS also uses beeps of different frequency to indicate critical errors. If an Award BIOS detects that the CPU is overheating it may play a high pitched repeating beep while the computer is running.
BEEP CODE MEANING POSSIBLE CAUSE
1 Long, 2 Short Video adapter failure Bad video adapter
Repeating (Endless loop) Memory error Bad memory or bad connection
1 Long, 3 Short Video adapter failure Bad video adapter or memory
High freq. beeps (while running) CPU is overheating CPU fan failure
Repeating High, Low beeps CPU failure Bad processor

Thank you tonys, i did check their site earlier but couldn't find this info, so the above would suggest its a memory issue

Thanks again for this mate :)
