tried another psu and now i am back to beeping even tho i aint touched the ram,starting to think the board is faulty
Try resetting the bios to defaults by clearing the cmos.
First switch off at wall and remove power leads. The push on button to discharge capacitors on board.
The jumper will be located near the bios battery and chip usually at the bottom right of motherboard. Move the jumper to the clear position and leave for a few mins. Then put back into normal postition and start pc up.
If that fails to clear it then repeat but remove the battery from the motherboard too and wait longer.
Hope that sorts it for you?

Just a long shot but try holding the "insert" key down on keyboard during boot as that used to work on some of the socket A boards i owned in the past.
Was there anything funny happening before this started? Have you had a good look over the motherboard to check for damaged compenents or bulging/leaking caps? Quiet a common problem on older boards

example are shown there of what your looking for.
Do you have a spare psu you could try?
