Edwin Bogert, with the long continous bleeping, it's 99% a problem with
the RAM module(s). If some of the other PCs boot with those RAM modules, it's a excellent chance that the RAM setting timing in the BIOS is set to CAS 2.
The RAM module(s) probably don't support CAS 2. Hence, CAS 3 is REQUIRED.
Having the incorrect CAS setting (in the BIOS) can and will on my system, cause
the system to fail to detect the RAM. Make sure it's seated properly. If you
don't feel to clicks when inserting the RAM modules, they are probably not
seated all the way in place. It could happen if on a 66 mhz bus, you are attempting to use PC100 SDRAM or the other way around.
