Motherboard gave 3 beeps

First step, pull the RAM (all of it) and see if you get the 3 beep issue again. If you do, install one stick of memory and see if the computer comes on. If not change that stick for another, and repeat untill the computer boots or you have tried every stick of RAM. If you have tried every stick of RAM try a different slot, and repeat one stick at a time. If when you have all the memory out of the computer, it does not do the 3 beeps, then you have a possible power supply issue, or some type of damange to the motherboard. Damage to the motherboard would include but not be limited to; static discharge during cleaing or memory installation. Cable beining lossened during the process (easly fixed by making sure all cables are snug). Resistor or other component lossed or detached from motherboard.

I have included everything I could think of here. If during the steps above you find more information, please provide it and I will try to point you in a different direction.

This POST beep code usually means a RAM problem.
Try reseating your RAM module/s and reboot your computer.
Try the BIOS setting and check the RAM size, does it match the total installed RAM.
If you suspect the RAM is faulty, remove the RAM module/s and take it to your friendly computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you.

that's a functional motherboard you got there. The beep that you hear is an error beep for not reading a ram. Yes, you will insert a ram that is compatible with your motherboard. No you can't use that without a video card. If you've got a spare video card put it on your motherboard

• Please check your RAM is installed correctly.
• Remove your RAM and again install it
• Restart your PC
  

you remove all ram then again try to insert ddr1 if the beep sound is comming your ram slot burned

Depending upon which BIOS make is installed in your computer, 3 beep means RAM fault.
Check the specification of your motherboard for the recommended RAM.
Reseat the RAM nodules in the motherboard.
Remove the RAM and get them tested at your friendly computer repair shop.

1. Beep codes indicates that there is some problem with your RAM memory sticks installed into your computer motherboard.
2. For detailed information about the beep codes, refer your motherboard user manual as there are different kind of beep notifications for different problems.
3. Try removing the RAM from your motherboard, clean of any dust, replace it back to the motherboard and try starting your system. Repeat the step for atleast 10 times, until your system starts up.
4. If still the problem, persists, try replacing your RAM and try again as this will help us to find out if the problem is with RAM or not.

I hope this is helpful to you.

Thats a standard mother board warning...back when i built a few computers i got this all the time it meant "no Memory" or no ram chips were installed or that the memory was not compatible it should just beep three times with about a second delay in between each beep...then thats your problem...your ram might be dead! if it has 3 short beeps and boots up fine it could just be a start up beep i know of older computers beeping quickly 3 times before booting....though ive never delt with asus boards only Intel. but i doubt it would be much different
hope this helps,ben

sounds like the motherboard trying to give you an error code. search beep codes for the type of motherboard you have and then you will get a possible cause of the interruption.

my friend once gave me an old ibm that had a beeping sound preventing it from booting. i googled ibm beep codes and learned that it was a video card error. i swapped the video card and problem solved

The long beep is sign of RAM is unserviceable or not fitted properly (Solution is remove the RAM clean the contact area and fit back again it failed replace with serviceable one)

RAM might have shorted. Check the MB for any physical damage if no follow above step.

disconnect the all cable connecting to drives like cd, hdd, fdd etc. then you can solve.
