I have bought a intel motherboard DQ963FX. I looked at the recommended memory and processor. I have a DD2 256 ATI video card and a 120 G SATA HDD. I have a 775 processor P4 640. My memory is DDR 667 1 gb stick.I got three beep when starting it. I replace the memory and still got three beeps. I replace the board and still got three beeps.I have tried moving the memory to dimm 1 and all the others. DO need another memory stick for the pc to work. Should I check the powersupply. The power supply is a 350 antec. I have no clue what to due now. I have tried to start it with no video card and hhd hooked up and still three beeps. It will not post or show video just the threee beeps.

post beeps usually always mean either the ram, cpu or video is faulty
as you have swapped the ram and the motherboard i would look to the video card and cpu.
see if you can borrow off a friend for a while
if the motherboard has an onboard video card then remove any agp/pci-e one and see if it still beeps.
then you know its the cpu _________________ -------------------------
