Recheck the heatsink attachment and orientation. That sounds like an overheat alarm for the cpu.

I once had a board give me a two tone beep for 3 things:
1) Processor not installed correctly (or overclocked too much, heh) 2) Processor overheating 3) A PSU rail was drooping too much (in my case it was the +5 going down to under 4.5v) So, try reseating your CPU and possibly your RAM, Award BIOS's often like to beep about RAM errors as well  And if that doesn't work, try a different PSU (after reseating the heatsink like PR suggested).
