I could not find anything on the 5-2-2-1 code but here is what I found on the 1-2-3

Lets see, that's a failure of the memory and I'll bet the first beep was a long one. This usually indicates that the first 64kb of memory is bad and the CPU can't even load the BIOS. Does this motherboard have integrated video?? That could also be where the failure is if it's not integrated.
