I'm trying to put together a new computer here at work (engineering lab at U of South Carolina working on fuel cells), and it is being a righteous pain in the ass. I'm getting a beep code that consists of one long beep, a pause, one long beep, a pause, and so on. I called the Chaintech technical support (the mobo is a Chaintech S1689...Socket 939 Athlon 64) and was told that this meant there was a problem reading the memory. I've unplugged everything and tried both sticks of RAM (Corsair Value Series 2x512 dual channel) one at a time in each of the 4 slots for memory. Same beeping pattern every time.

Part Summary:
Chaintech S1689 - Socket 939 Athlon 64
GeForce MX4000 video card
2 x 512MB Corsair Value Series Dual Channel (and apparently recommended by Chaintech as working well with their boards)

Beep pattern = one long beep, pause, one long beep, pause, long beep, pause....ad infinitum

Any help is greatly appreciated.
