says in the book its a power issue? what could this be?

everything (from what i can see) is plugged in where and how it should be...

any ideas?

also where the 4 pin connector goes near the back i have a 8 pin connector on my power supply (should i use this?) wanted to check before just plugging it in!

its a fast series of beeps the cpu fan spins slightly but thats it......

H E L P!

Thanks

Does the 8 pin plug not split in two?

Either way, you need the 4 pin socket filled.
 
i have a 4 pin and a 8 pin, with either plugged in all i get are the constant beeps....

its doing my head in!

Thanks for your reply

Using a Antec TruePower 550w, and have tried another PSU....
 
its a 8800gts 320mb

I have ITS poswer connected, and i have the power going to the pci-extress power connector on the motherboard (tried it without the power plugged into the pci-express power connector on motherboard).

Also tried it wit a crappy pci-e video card and just get ecactly the same beeps.

Check your RAM. I had the rapid beeps last night when one of my sticks died.

Also try shorting the jumper to clear the BIOS.
 
hang on pci-express connector? i dont have anything plugged into the realy small black connector on the motherboard? should i?

i have the Evga 320mb 8800gts that OcUK had on special a couple of months ago...

The graphics card should be plugged into your power supply, not your mobo, I get the constant beeping when I forget to plug my GFX card back in after clearing my CMOS :/

i do have my gfx card plugged into my psu.

but even with the dung video card it still beeps,

if i remove the memory the beeps change to a constant.

so i am sure i am just missing something.

If you have an 8 pin plug then use that. Also you need to have a molex plugged into the connector on the motherboard above the 24 pin socket. This provides extra power for the pci-e slots.

The molex connector is only required for dual graphics card setups. I don't have it plugged in for my single 8800GTX on my DS3P.
