new mobo no boot, beeps

I have a foxconn p35a motherboard that i just bought onilne.
I put the cpu in, its a pentium 4 640 CPU. cpu is good as it just took it out of my other mobo. I hook up power, cpu, 1 stick of memory and video. I press power, but it just beeps...aka beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, really fast and loud, about 3 loud beeps a second, just continously. I pull the video and memory, it does the same thing. What do you think??

thats the link to the mobo. could it be a bad mobo?

side note, i dont have the 8 socket power connector, only the 4socket for the12V to the CPU, could that cause the problem? manual said i can use the 4 if i do not have an 8 socket one.

thanks.

is the 4 pin connector from your p/s keyed to only fit one way into the 8 pin cpu socket on your mobo? could you have the connector plugged into the wrong 4 pins of the 8 pin connector? if i picture it right in my head, 4 pins could plug into 8, 4 different ways. (start at one end and jump one pin to the right for each position.)

Beep Codes-------->Means…

No beeps-------->Short, no power, bad CPU or motherboard, or the CPU is not installed properly.

One long beep, then two short beeps-------->Video problem

Continuous hi-lo beeps-------->CPU overheating

Repeated long beeps-------->Memory error

All other beeps-------->Memory related error

yeah I am thinking its memory related, need to find a stick of ddr 667.

yeah its the memory, borrowed some and it booted up, my new set should be in here in a few days.

Well at least you figured it out. Good luck with the new set.

There is only 1 way you can put it in even if it's a 4pin into an 8pin connector Since it's built to be fool-proof
