Can't figure it out

[Bob-0]

My sister's computer broke down the other day. It would turn on but it doest post and would constantly beep. So thinking the video card went bad, I bought a new one to replace it. Didn't solve the problem. Then I was thinking the AGP, or something on the motherboard went bad, so I bought a replacement board. Problem not solved. Then I thought the CPU went bad, and got a replacement, popped it in the new board, still doesnt post. With the same beeping noise from the system. WTF! Can't seem to figure out what's wrong.

The Specs on my Sister comp
Shuttle AK31A
256MB PC2100 Ram
AMD 1600+
TNT2Ultra

Replacement Parts
Radeon 7000
AMD 1800+
Chaintech 7kjd

I'm pretty sure that Shuttle has an Award BIOS and the beep code for constant beeping denotes a problem with memory. The Vid card signal is one long and 3 short.

I believe you are correct. Also, the manual for the board should clearly explain each beep code and what is wrong. What good is a code without a means to deciper it...unless your Dan Brown writing The Da Vinci Code. (Great book by the way).
