Alright so I used to have an ASUS M2N-SLI, and then my computer wouldn't turn on intermittently, and eventually my computer wouldn't power on at all. So I thought it was a problem with my PSU, an Antec Earthwatts 380V. But I did the paper clip trick and hooked a fan up and it powered the fan alright and it turned on. Now I know that there can still be issues with a power supply even if the paper clip trick turns it on. So I figured that the issue here is either my motherboard or my power supply, or possibly both. But I took a gamble anyway and bought a new motherboard, an ASUS M3A78.
I just mounted my motherboard in my case, put in the processor, and then stuck in my 8800GT and my RAM just to see if it would POST. The computer powers on, the fans start spinning and stuff, but the case speaker emits a really loud constant beep with alternating beeps going on while this constant beep goes on. it doesn't stop and I see nothing on my screen. Does anyone have any idea as to what this might be? I'm thinking maybe my power supply is screwed too, because the power LED on the motherboard flickered when I first turned on the power supply.
