Continous Beeping on startup

My flatmate just built a computer. I was helping him since I have
built one before. He has a AMD Athalon 64 3700 ClawHammer Core socket
754, two 512 DDR400 PC3200, K8 Triton Gigabyte technology motherboard,
nVidia 6600, 300gb Seagate 7200rpm, DVD-R


However, when we go to turn it on the monitor light turns green (so it
is receiving something) but it is just a blank screen. The computer
itself just has long beeps continously. I tried putting a jumper on
the CMOS to reset it and when I start it with the jumper there is no
beeping and still no picture on the monitor.

The trouble shooting in the motherboard book said that continous
beeping is DRAM error. I switched out the Memory for my memory (which
works) but didn't change anything. Then I unplugged everything besided
the mother board, cpu heatsink, system fan and memory and still no
change in beeping.

Any suggestions?
