Continuous short beeps No boot up

[SearchSkillzzz]

First time I've ever run across this, continous beeps should I tell my buddy that he has a bad main board? I tried a different power supply. different video cards. Different ram, different cpu's.
I give up!

Look at either the mother board website or the bios website and you should be able to get a breakdown of what all the beep codes mean for that system.

I think its because the CPU is not fixed properly to the board..

just remove the cpu/videocard/ram and put it back!

I have already also done what you guys have mentioned, I'm at a first time loss for words on this one, tried an agp card that I know is good, 3 different pci video cards that i know are good 2 different sticks of ram which I know are good, the thing was running up untill 2 days ago, then nothing, wow, new one on me, I was hoping that it was the chip, but it doesn't appear to be that. LMK if you have anymore ideas I'm all ears and burned out on it, maybe the motherboard has a hairline crack in it, I'm not sure.

Beep codes steer towards a bad motherboard, short , loose connection.

Yes, I'm really convinced that it is dead, A first time for me for everything, I was hoping to pull a rabbit out of the hat, but apparently, "not this time". Thanks for the help and the time fellas! I'll have to break the news to him a bit later.

Food for thought fellas, a last ditch effort, a first for me, This board was one of the cleanest used boards that I have ever scene, I gave it back to my buddy, I mentioned, pull the board, look for cracks on the board, then clean it for the hek of it before you pitch it, He cleaned it, It works great now. I cannot believe that the minute amount of dust that was on that board kept it from booting, Unbelievable! Thanks for the help fellas, all is well, I learned something new once again! ;)
