Computer beeps continually

When I switch my computer on it starts to beep immediately, and continues to beep approx every second. The monitor does not turn on. I have checked the graphics card and RAM on another computer and they are operating fine. I have not recently installed anything on my computer. I have had this problem before but it seemed to fix itself until now.

If your RAM and video card both work in other machines then you may and probably do have a bad motherboard
