Oh yes, loose parts in psu's are no good. With a smaller psu tho, only connect the bare minimum of peripherals to post it.

hmm, on BiosCentral: http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm
it says that continous beeping is memory related, but the corsair memory i got was second hand and i had seen it working in a previous machine!?
it also says: ".check for improperly seated or missing memory." i might remove the motherboard and triple check the memory is secured properly, the DHX heatshield absolutely kill my fingers!

i checked the manual, nothing about bios maintenance, this is really baffling me, something that should be simple has turned into an absolute nightmare, i have spent almost the whole day on this and i really need to get this up and running, important coursework to do!

sadly, no i dont know anyone else with a socket am2 mobo, it shouldnt be the cpu if the fan is still working; should it?
Anway i am going to remove the board from my case and place on a flat sufrace so that i can check for any problems with ram. i let you know if i have any progress!
