ok, here's whats happening:

i hit the power button on my computer, and it starts beeping non-stop and nothing happens. no bios, no startup, no memory check, just the computer beeps, and no startup. i've tried everything, that includes: replugging hardware, unplugging hardware, changing monitors, video cards, sound cards, removed dust, opened processor thingy and put it back (incase it's misplaced), recharged the bios battery, and lastly, kicking the computer a bunch of times (u don't believe how pissed off i was when i realized my essay on colombia was due next week)

do u have ANY other suggestions, or even better, experience with this situation?

meanwhile, i'm lookin for a new motherboard to buy cuz i think that's the problem.

Yeah, might be the video card. To my brother's computer happend same thing, computer just beeps and nothing else happens. So I changed the video card, and beeping stops and computer starts.

nar, it's not video card. i have a geforce 2 and 4 inside, and it's normally on the 4 (duh). i tried booting the computer with the 2, AND i tried booting it without any video card at all. no go.

however i havent tried memory. might be it.

It's either the memory or your motherboard.

If it's an asus card, then check the beeps with the instructions booklet.
