Three beeps at start

[gunksee]

Yesterday while starting the computer, three beeps are heard and the power goes off. Unable to get the computer up and going. I have an Award bios on the MB, 96 mb ram and an AMD K5-2 cpu. Can someone offer any help? Thanks.

If you have the manual for the board, it'll tell u exactly what 3 beeps mean. Did u recently go inside and change anything?

The problem most likely lies in your video card, ram, or cpu seeing that those are the only things needed for POST.

Thanks for the hints. I replaced the Sdrams and didn't show any differences. Will try to reseat the CPU and take out the peripheral cards and see what happens later today.
