Default Very weird BIOS beep

I have a Foxconn A74MX-K and I found a sticker on the motherboard that said it was a AMI BIOS but I think AMI is old but I don't know. What happens is when I turn it on it beeps like it normally would but there is like a 5 second pause then it beeps twice really fast. I was just in Windows XP doing stuff than it froze. Before it sometimes beeped one long and then two short but then I reset the BIOS. It did the one long and two short every once and a while but if you let it sit there a while it would just stop and boot normally. It was overclocked and I think that's why it was beeping before but now I reset the BIOS I don't know what is wrong with it. I also took out the video card. I also think that the RAM was overclocked too much and I will try some other RAM that I have later.

Its your motherboards POST (Power on self test) identifying a hardware fault/failure. Each motherboards POST beep identifiers are different. Check yours here, or here. Hope this helps.

Oops its just the beeps to say that the BIOS was reset. It's a very strange beep code though.
