Does your PC try to read the diskette drive ?
The beeps probably mean it can't find the video card.
Is your BIOS ROM in a socket ?
hello, thanks...

Your BIOS chip, is it soldered to the board or is it in a socket ?
It is the chip at the bottom of the picture in a brown socket.
If it is in a socket it can be removed and programmed with the correct BIOS.
V3.0
V1.0
Version 1.0 may or may not have an ISA socket fitted.

NickS -
It seemed odd to me something happened here. Lotfi said he ran a flash program, but when it asked for a file to flash, he didn't enter one, and clicked OK. At this point I would have expected the flash program to quit, with the motherboard being OK (as nothing happened).
Lotfi - What program did you run, and if you recall it, what error message did you recieve?
(for my own curiosity...what is bloqued? I kinda get the idea, but what would be a better translation?)
