Three beeps indicates a video card problem.

The BIOS is unable to access the video system in order to write any error messages to the screen.This is usually caused by a problem with the video card, or the memory on the video card. It can also be a motherboard issue.There are many possible causes for a video card failure. Actual failure of the card itself is relatively rare but does happen. More often, the problem is due to misconfiguration or resource conflicts.Make sure that the video card is tightly and completely inserted into its slot. Try powering down, removing and reinserting the card and then rebooting.

This motherboard uses an AGP type of video card. I hope you didn't try to jam a PCI or PCIe card into the AGP slot. That would probably fry both the card and the motherboard.

Try to open your computer. There is a battery in the motherboard, then pull it out. Try find that small little button there is in the motherboard. Not far away from the battery. Hold it down for a few seconds, put the battery in. And then try to reboot. It would probaly fix it.
