I have an Asus P5VDC-MX motherboard with a Celeron D plugged in, but when I plugged it into the case etc, only a long beep was heard when the power button was pressed - no video on either integrated graphics or AGP graphics. :help: (The motherboard is currently sitting in a spare case I have, waiting for a PSU so I can try your suggestions. ;)) |

check ram seating and video card seating (if it has one plugged in as such) otherwise pull it from the case and try booting it.....if that works but not in the case then look for 'standouts' etc that maybe shorting the mobo |

Why don't you Google the BIOS beep codes and see what that beep code is telling you? that will tell you where the problem is :rolleyes: |

According to this page (vip.asus.com) it's a memory error. |

According to this page (vip.asus.com) it's a memory error. Well there is your answer... try reseating the RAM and if that does not work try the RAM in another PC by itself... so it is only 1 long never ending beep? |

The RAM worked perfectly in the older motherboard, but I can't try it at the moment as the motherboard has no PSU connected to it. |

You aren't trying to put PC133 on a newer motherboard are you? (in theory it shouldn't be possible, but with enough force anything is possible) |

I've solved the problem - it was the RAM. The RAM that was in Dad's computer caused boot problems, but 1 stick of my RAM worked perfectly. :) |
