Nothing on screen on boot and beeps

I was playing zoo tycoon just after I installed it and all of a sudden my cpu reset. When it started to boot again nothing came up on the screen and a constant beeping is coming from the cpu speaker. I tryed a new video card and still got nothing on screen, and the beeping continued. I them tryed a different moniter (think it had died) and still nothing on screen. All fans are running hard drives are fine because i put them in another system and can see them fine. What could be causing the cpu not to boot and to make a constant interval of beeping? Could the processor be fryed? And how do I take the heatsink off the processor to check it?
