I have a very frustrating problem with the above mainboards - put a system together in usual fashion - have built several machines now, this is first AMD system though - no boot - 3 beeps - checked beep codes = mem read/write error. Cutting a long story shorter, I now have replaced board, chip, memory, and run all combinations of original and replacement items. Jumpers are correct for FSB vs. chip speed vs.memory. Drives plugged and unplugged, monitor the same, keyboard and mouse also. Even tried power supply from another machine. Still always those 3 beeps. There must be something fundamental I've missed surely. Anyone come across a similar issue. Thanks in advance. Chandlainstalled a Asrock p4vm890, checked bios, installed netcard, rebooted. Not getting anything but 3 beeps.
