Another forum to check out is at Tom's Hardware. Note that one of the topics under "Motherboards & Memory" is Asus.

You also may do a (Google) search for [ "long beep" hang ], and read other queries.

This is what I posted in my last edit (just so someone will see it)

I just realized that when my computer makes the beep, it doesn't actually freeze, but there is the beep and I can't seem to control anything (keyboard, mouse etc...)I could never get the onboard sound card to work, so I added an older sound card (Creative Labs Sound Blaster CT4810(PCI))And I thought that maybe this card is the problem, so I disabled it and tried it again. The problem doesn't seem to happen, but eventually it kinda freezes (and I can't tell if it beeps because I am not using the PCI soundcard ,but the onboard sound card (which dosn't seem to work) but I can exit the program with the keyboard, so I think that it is just the emulator that crashes in this case (ePSXe)
Does this make sence?

Ok, so I think that I am just going to upgrade...err....downgrade..the BIOS. I believe that I talked about how I got the motherboard from a friend...and he upgraded the bios but I think that he upgraded to an instable version. He gave me a disk that had the first release bios on it. So I guess I will switch to that....I also need to know if it is possible to do it from the CD-ROM drive or if it has to be done from a floppy drive. Also, how do you boot into DOS?
