According to Asus, this board only supports the XP processor with BIOS version 1007. I don't know if that is the case or not. I would try putting in a TBird or Duron procesoor and see if it boots. If not, try removing everything from the board with the exception of the processor, video, and memory. Reseat these in their slots and try booting. If it still does not boot, clear the CMOS settings. If it still does not boot, swap these items out one by one with known good parts and try clearing CMOS/ booting between each swap. It could be a bad mobo if it still doesn't work. I would verify the position of your standoffs and make sure the grounding screw is in the proper place before replacing it.

Hope this helps....

Depending on the Bios manufacturer the beep may indicate a memory problem,check the memory modules for compatibility and make sure they are seated in slots securely

1 beep usually indicates a failed power supply. Check that the power supply is working when you boot up (listen for the fan) if not then you are gont to need a new 1.
