OK I gave my dad my Abit board, and now it beeps an error code at him, the two tone siren. Which means:
Either the CPU is not seated properly or the CPU is damaged. May also be due to excess heat. Check the CPU fan or BIOS settings for proper fan speed.
Now the kicker, if you do a reset after initial power up, the beeping goes away. System works stable with beeping and after reset. The beeping doesn't start until after POST and the Windows XP splash screen comes on.
Things I have tried:
Swapping memory
HSF re-seating (2x)
Reset Bios.
Sytem specs:
Abit NF7-s Rev2
XP2500+ @ stock
1 Gig PC3200
80 gig HD.
GF MX 440
WinXP SP1
