 dead boot
I've just upgraded a PC with a new motherboard and I can't get past POST. I'm getting continuous, long beep codes. I have an award bios and I visited their website and they suggested to check the memory. I did just that by swapping the 64MB with a known working 256MB module. I'm still getting the same error codes. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix the problem and at least get past POST, I would really appreciate it. Thanks...

Well first, unhook everything, including floppy, HD, CD rom. have you tried switching out video cards with a known working one. that long beep could be the video card. now you said you upgraded the motherboard, did you install a new CPU? check to make sure its jumpered correctly

Award Bios' long beeps are either a Keyboard controller error or a video Failure.

a ram error is generaly indicated by the system giving you nothing, pretty lights, but generaly nothing. continuous long beeps are likly a lose CPU (reseat, common problem on slot achitecture) or the system cannot find the video card.

Leave connected Ram, Video card, and Processor. See if it boots. If it does, then it's a short. Check the screws that secure the board.
