I recently purchased a Asus A7V-E motherboard with a FSB of 200Mhz. I also got an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.2GHz 200 processor. I am also using PC-100 SDRAM. When I try to start it up after installation, the computer initially boots but then begins a constant beeping and flashing on the screen. I was wondering if anyone knew what may be causing this?

It looks like it might be the wrong kind of memory. I found a website that made no mention of this particular motherboard being able to support PC100 memory. It did say that PC133 memory was supported. Hope this helps.

The beep code is caused by memory,you need to at least be using PC-133 SDRAM,The 200mhz Front Side Bus is not backward compatible with the PC-100 SDRAM.
Being that this is a new motherboard,I would not consider restting the jumpers to slow the machine down.

A friend of mine answered my question last night. We had to change the power management setting in the bios. Switch the power management to disabled from user defined and the computer will boot up. Thanks for the help from the 2 responses though.
