Yupp, very lo-tech, but quite handy at times like the OP described. Beeeeeep-beep-beep-beep. Sound familiar? Bad RAM on video card, or otherwise bad video card. I've seen this plenty on oldish mobo's that more or less all of them were of the MSI variety and with S3 Trio or ATI Rage graphics cards. Bad combo apparantely, but oh-so-popular at the time. OP, although you might not like hearing it, your best bet is probably going to be to try to migrate the data to something more contemporary. More often than not, the motherboard's given up its breath as well. Check any caps, do they look swollen or are even leaking maybe? -- /Sorin
