Anyone understand NF7 error tones?

Thanks. The CPU failure beep code sounds like the one.

It could also be that the heatsink is not mounted properly, and the CPU
is instantly overheating, setting off the same BIOS beep code. Remount
the heatsink, making sure it's mounted properly, and also make sure the
heatsink fan is connected to the CPU fan header and is running.
This link helps as well, with a bit more info for the Award BIOS:

Brilliant advice, thanks!
Everything's OK now.
Feel a little stupid, though. I've built dozens of systems & it's the 1st
time this has happened.
Thanks to everyone who's responded.

Glad you got it sorted. That problem is a lot more common than you
think, so don't feel bad.
