    One continuous beep

    Hi guys hope you can help me.

    a computer has come in to the shop i work in and all it does when you turn the power on is onelong continuous beep.

    what i have done so far

    changed processor
    change memory
    change power supply (dont ask me why)
    change video card

    just had memory and processor +onboard graphics and still the same.

    with this board the onboard graphics are ment to be disabled when you plug in a pci video card.

    i have also cleared the cmos.

    it is a AWARD bios.
    motherboard is a socket 7 based on the sis 530 chipset.

    the cpu is a k6-2 500 (which i have replaced with a k6-2 500).

    i am lost with ideas now

    cheers mike
