AOpen AX4B motherboard in a computer that I built, all working just fine
for several months. Now, when we press the power button, we get an
alarm tone through the PC's speaker -- about a three second tone, then
two seconds of silence, then the tone again, with this cycle repeating
as long as the power's switch is on. The thing doesn't start up, and
there's nothing on the screen. I happened to notice that while this is
happening, an orange LED on the motherboard flashes regularly; it's
labelled "standby LED."

Anybody know what's wrong? Couldn't find any useful information on this
problem at the AOpen web site.

Have you tried clearing the CMOS RAM?
