I have this issue every now and then I power on and I get constant long beeps and no display. The board is a iWill i440LX Pentium-II, the ram is seated and ok. I tested with another GFX card and same.
I have unplugged everything apart from the Master HDD and removed other cards. I have removed and replaced the CMOS battery I am clueless at this stage.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
If you didn't do it already, try to clean the ram slots and ram themselves with deoxit, IPA and a brush or something equivalent.

I have boards that tends to be problematic with ram as time goes on, and cleaning helps. (Corrosion I guess?)
