usually when i move my comp to a different place itll continuelly beep beep, but all i have to do is take the ram out and put it back in.... but now that i took everything apart and put it all back together, all i get when i turn my comp on is a beep (like when its working fine, only about 1 second longer) and then it just repeats that over and over.... could anyone know what the problem is

Would that be Epox? It sounds like you have a cheap case that is flexing and causing some problem. You need to read the troubleshooting section of the MB manual to determine what the BEEP CODE means. You could try removing the MB and checking to see that ALL mounting holes in the MB have a mating standoff installed into the case in the proper position and ONLY in those locations. I have seen the wrong mounting screws used. Too coarse of a screw may not thread in far enough to secure the MB or too small a diameter will never tighten. In your instance it sounds like you may not have ALL the standoffs in place thereby not supporting the MB properly. Worst case senerio would be a cracked MBoard. A history of this system might help narrow things down some.

my computer worked fine for a couple years until the following....
it worked fine one day... my parents kicked me out, and my step dad took my proc. out. i put it back in when i figured out i was gonna live with my grandparents and it started beepin multiple times quickly. this is usually because of the ram, all i have to do is take the ram out and put it back in and itll work. so i did that, and started it with just one ram card in and that didnt work then tried it with both and then i started gettin the one beep that i described above

and yes i meant epox... i popped the bios battery out a couple of minutes ago, hoping whatever is wrong would be reset. anyone else have any suggestions?

Error beeps when booting are almost always a RAM or video card problem. But try reseating the motherboard power connector.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!
