I beleive motherboards give out standard bleeps when they encounter a problem. Mine keeps bleeping 3 times (long bleeps). Does anyone have any idea what this means?

No all motherboards are not the same, but by what I have experieced, 3 beeps can be CPU or memory. Should be in your motherboard manual.
Try reseating all memory and make sure your CPU is seated properly and that you mo bo has the proper jumpers for youe CPU. Also make sure all cards are seated properly.
