Mobo Error Tones

<div class="IPBDescription">plz tell me what mine means!</div> My new motherboard makes 1 long beep and 2 short beeps when I boot it up and then no BIOS or OS. There is absolutely nothing in the documentation that came with the motherboard that lists what the seperate tones mean. Does anybody know what the above listed tone means, or can anybody point me to a website that lists the tones?

    edit: Try pulling out the Vid Card, booting, then shutting down, and re-incerting the vid card and re-booting. Usually does the trick, unless you fired your card.
