Hello I have an old computer with an Athlon CPU. It doesnt POST at all and it beeps. It used to do 3 Continuous beeps and then stop for a second. and then it went beeping for a while not stopping. Now it straight shutdowns before even the 3 beeps. This is an old Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2. Any ideas?

You would need to find the manual for that motherboard and look up the codes. Somewhere it will tell you what the beeps mean, just have to find the table...
