Continuous beep Just assembled a pc using the Asus p5b deluxe mother board. when I turn on the power, there is a continuous beep and nothing is showing on the screen. what could be the problem?

Two beeps is usually the video card.
Do you have a spare video card to change out?
This is why people keep obsolete PCI video cards for just such tests.

deal him/her a atom processor dual core because it built-in processor and the mother board package...

its very cheaper i assure you... or go to amd sempron single core.. package ...

You can download the drivers for your motherboard from asus here:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?modelname=P5B-VM SE&SLanguage=en-us

just select your operating system

when ever you are getting the beep messages after you remove the ram card and connecting the tower to the power cord it shows that mother board is functiong normally so no problem with the mother board .try this steps so that it may resolve the issue.


1. No Boot:
. Check the cables
. Check with the socket on the wall as well as surge protector
. Swap the power cable with the monitor
. Power drain ( after removing all the cables press and hold the power button on the tower for 10-15 sec and the re-insert the power cable and connect the monitor and check)
Monitor does not power on
Check with the power cable
Check with the cable from the monitor
Swap the cable
Power drain
If the cust gets the power on the monitor and even the tower but still if he cannot view anything on the screen

The problem - I guess - is that this CPU is not recognised correctly by the board. To solve it, just update to the latest BIOS, using either AsusUpdate or manually from www.asus.com

Hi,

The problem is of the display side so if possible connect the pci
display card or can repaire the mother board, If not then only solution is to change the mother board.

Thanks

check your power suply,smps,and also check your motherbord dont touch the cabinet.
also check your processor case and clean it.

remove everything from the mother board except cpu & memory the power supply does it beep now? if so remove memory try again.

Have you installed RAM? If not the machine will not boot. You may also need to enter the BIOS setup to set the CPU and DRAM voltages and multiplyers etc. Follow the instructions in the manual for setting up the CPU info in the BIOS. Are you sure your PSU has enough guts to run the setup? Many times have i seen setups fail because a cheap power supply has been overstretched.

check your memory use ddr2 memory DONOT use old memory combine with new and good wattage power supply
