you can find out what the beep codes represent on the motherbords website.

just note down the amount and frequescy of the beeps, and google your MB beep codes.

this will allow you to narrow down what the error is, and allow you to troubble shoot it

As above, check out your "beep codes" for your motherboard. I'm pretty sure these are the right ones : http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/phoenixbeep.htm

Try clearing CMOS too. Unplug the power from the computer and remove the little silver battery from the motherboard. Leave it out for a few minutes and then replace it and see what happens.

It's not looking good then.

Try another power supply if you can. If it's not that then it's probably the motherboard and time for a new computer.

i DID have another PSU but i used it to kill a rat which was trying to attack me (wholy hell they have a lot of force when you grab the cpu plug and swing the unit). i guess that would be about my luck though, i guess i have to upgrade sooner than hoped...

*please note: it was only a 300w OEM PSU which i (and no-one else i knew) had a use for. If it was a thermaltake 1000w then shit would've gotten serious haha.
