a two tone beep? that is usually heat or voltage related and on that board,
I have not heard of any voltage related issues cause by the board.

My BE7 is the same, after flashing the bios it is OK for a few weeks, then
the beeps return. I have tried various power supplies with no change, the
video card is an Abit Siluro Geforce 3 Ti which you would think was
compatible. I think I am going to return it before the guarantee runs out.
The network connection is flakey too, often giving local network speeds of
300k/sec whereas all the other computers on the net transfer at 5-7
Meg/sec. Any new suggestions?

 

May be bad electrolytic capacitors. Check for any bulges, discoloration at
the tops and/or bottom of the caps. Some pictures of bad caps at:

On a BE7.............Noooooooooooooooo please god noooooooooooooooooo.

 

I have never seen or heard of the bad cap syndrome on the BE7 or any board
newer than and including the KG7
