ABIT IS7 P4 Northwood problem

[mp3blast]

hi
i bought an IS7 and installed it with my p4 2.4B and pc3500 ram. However, when I boot up, I get a flashing red light and an annoying beep...no screen on the monitor or anything

anyone know what could be wrong? ive also got a 9800pro and an antec true380

thanks

1.) reset the CMOS
2.) try RAM in another slot
3.) try to run computer with out RAM and Vid card and intrpret what the beeps mean
4.) try parts in another computer
