Please give us more info, like:
a) Did you just receive this board?
b) Was it working before?
c) Did this happen all of a sudden?
d) Did you install a card or whatever before this happened?
e) ...whatever additional info you may have.
We don't have a crystal ball...

You may have damaged the BIOS chip during its extraction or insertion.

Start with the basics.
Remove everything you can (add-in cards, multiple RAM sticks, drives, etc...). Use only one KNOWN GOOD RAM stick. See if you can get the machine to POST, then slowly add things back in to find the culprit.
Also look for bent pins, damaged sockets, etc...
I think(?) continuous beeping like that means the system can't find any RAM to work with. It was either that, or it can't find a video "card" to display with...

Bent pins=bent contacts/bent legs, e.g.
- on BIOS chip, one leg folded underneath not making good contact
- two contacts in PCI slot crushed together
- in HDD connector, two pins crushed together
Have you cleared CMOS ?
