Beeps Coming From Old Motherboard

[Ashiok]

Hi All,

I was digging through some old hardware today and found some stuff that I could throw in to make a kinda okay pc just for fun. I threw it all together with ram, motherboard, cpu, gpu, and a power supply. However, once I got it all together to test if it would boot, I would get 3 beeps with no boot. Eventually after trying a bunch of things, I took the cpu out and booted again. No beeps. But I can't really use it without a cpu soooo I have no idea what the problem is.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

what motherboard is it specifically? you could try searching for the motherboard's name with "error beeps" or something like that.

Brand and model of the motherboard?

 

Is that three long beeps or three short beeps?

 

Using (https://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm) as a basis three beeps can range from memory problems to a faulty motherboard.
