On boot, my computer has been beeping at me and showing the BIOS screen for almost two minutes. During that time, it does not respond to tab or delete.
Where do I find the beep codes for a MSI K9N SLI Platinum Series motherboard? My google-fu has failed me.
google search: MSI K9N SLI Platinum Series manual got me to MSI's page, and support under the pic got me to manual....

I have the manual. I should have mentioned that the manual does not have the beep codes.

Asus and the like don't make BIOS, they get it from AMI or Phoenix or whatever. It will usually say in POST screens or in the setup itself; failing that, it might be etched on the chip itself.
In my experience, though, 97% of problems whose symptoms include beep codes are memory issues. Well, maybe that's a contrived figure, but it is enough that I'd look for spare memory first and a beep code reference after.
