Hi. Welcome to the forum.

The 3 beeps you hear, are they long or short beeps?

 

[vbv3]

Try this:

Open your case and reseat everything including ribbon and power cables, memory sticks, pci cards.

well I removed all the connectors and totally reinstalled everything noww I get no beeps but it hangs on the testing vga bios according to the lights on the connector on the rear.

it will not boot to cmos either!!!! geeze this sucks.

Try taking out the ram and reseating it again. Or try one stick at a time.

Speedo the ram has been in all three slots no go...btw its a single 512 2700 ddr.

any other suggestions are more than welcome

Do you have a PCI video card you can try in there?
