I have taken this thing apart 1000 times (well, three times maybe).

One long beep and two short beeps.

I swapped video cards, same thing, so I can rule out the video card.

I have two PCI and two OCZ sticks of PC3200 RAM, 1GB each, I thought
maybe 4GB is the problem. I pulled out the PCI sticks and put the OCZ
in the primary slots. IT WORKED! I did some diagnostics, everything
seemed fine, so I hit the reset button to reboot and then I got the
beeps again with no video >:-(

So I'm thinking maybe the reset button did something?

I'm a noob with this stuff so if anyone asks me if the power supply is
providing 12V on the rail or if the MOBO is whatever, I don't know :-(

Please help! Thanks, George

Has this EVER worked with the OCZ Memory , I had loads and loads of problems
with my P5B deluxe , the OCZ needed a higher ram voltage to get all sticks
past the POST test but was unstable. in the end had to replace with Corsair
mem

I have swapped all the RAM around, nothing.

I tried MEMTEST and PEBuilder...the drive lights up but nothing
happens and I get no video, it goes back to the one long and two short
beeps.
