Question Beeping faulty pc!

Hi,

My mate brought this old pc from work round to see if I could have a crack at getting working. Except I'm rubbish! This is it:

1999 AMD Athlon (Not sure which one- can't tell from looking at it).
QDI KinetiZ 7E Motherboard
Hyundai GPi PC133 SDRam 256mb
Rage ATi Radeon 128mb All-in-wonder AGP Graphics Card (I think-it says loadsa **** on it!)

WHat happens is i turn it on and there's no picture on the monitor at all, and it beeps. Constantly. And doesn't stop.
Keyboard lights and mouse flash as usual, and I've cleared the cmos, and it doesn't help at all. SO can't obviously get access to bios.
Any ideas much appreciated, but it does look like a bit of a piece of ****!
Cheers,
K

Hi Kunal

heres a link to the motherboard website

http://www.motherboard.cz/mb/qdi/KinetiZ%207E.htm

Different M/B produce different beeps but suffice to say that a constant beep usualy indicates bad RAM or RAM that is not seated correctly. short beeps together with long beeps can indicate Video card is dead or again incorrectly fitted. If you are confident enough open the case and remove one of the cards reboot to see what happens.
