I really do need some help! Does anybody know what Three beeps on a A8N-SLI Deluxe means??????

**EDIT**

Ok its changed to one long beep, that just keeps repeating every few seconds....

I have no idea what beep sequences are. but it either has to be 3 things. First make sure that the cpu, the ram and the videocard are all seated properly. Then make sure that the CTR_CMOS (cmos clear) are on the wrong jumpers. If you're still having troubles. post again.

If I recall correctly, repeating long beeps means a RAM problem.

I have read about alot of problems with that mobo, and 99% of the time its Ram related like Vampy said. The board is a bit picky when it comes to ram. What ram are you using with the board and did you try to change the ram arround the slots in order to find out the right config? One thing you should do is update the bios to the latest, this board is very fresh and they are still fixing alot of ram related "bugs".
