Possible system board malfunction. To
eliminate the possibility of an add in-card
problem, remove all expansion cards.
If the beep code occurs even when all

If the beep code does not occur when the
expansion cards have been removed, one
of the cards is causing the problem. Install
the cards one at a time until the problem
happens again. When the beep code
