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:
