Wierd error beeps

[criptorchyd]

just put together a new system - AMD 2400+
Abit KV7
512Mb
2 x Hitachi SATA 80Gb HD

when trying to install Win Xp, at some random point in the initial phase, the screen goes blank and I get an error beep consisting of 2 second beep followed by 2 second beep of a different tone (like an old police siren - nee nah nee nah...)

Can't find anything about this anywhere on abit's site

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx
Owen

Yeah I was having trouble finding the beep codes too. I found this site which helped me out:

I think you describe this:

A two-tone siren, generally caused by overheating or out of specification voltages

Thanx, it sounds like that.
I'll try a new heat sink and fan tomorrow.

Much appreciated
