MSI Neo 2 Plat.. beeping noise..

[Maphatlal]

Can someone help me, Ijust put together a pc MSI neo 2 ultra with amd64 939 3500 and with Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPT 1GB Kit DDR400 XMS3200 Dual-Channel Xtra-Low Latency Memory w/Platinum Heat Spreader Retail and ati aiw 9800 pro.

The machine constanlty beeps and the cpu core runs @ about 50 + , what is going on? Is this normal? Do I have a bad board?

Also the sound volume is very low.. that does not work properly, I've checked everything.. Are people having the same problem as me?

Please let me know If I need to RMA anything back.

The beeping is due to the diagnostic feature of this board so the board may be working as it should.

If you're using a processor with the Winchester (90nm) core then the board will not boot in dual channel mode until you upgrade the BIOS to version 1.3. Try installing one stick of RAM in slot one and booting it. Then use Live Update to upgrade the BIOS to v1.3. Then you can install the second DIMM in dual channel configuration.

As for the high temperature reading, there have been many reports that this board does not report the temperature correctly.
