Beeping Sound Upon Boot

[Pegesus]

I am putting together a new pc and i just turned on the power and i get a continous beep and an ornange light goes on on my Mb. I only have a vid card connected the Cpu, and my HD and CD. They are all connected correctly what else could cause this problem.

if u had memory on the board i think the sound wouuld stop beeping

O yea a heatsink and fan would help also

Are there any diagnostic LEDs on your board. if so refer to you manual

does your video card require its own power? if so plug it in.
