Default Motherboard constantly beeps while running Vista Beta 2/RC-1

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but here goes...I
have been running Vista Beta 2 with no problems until recently I upgraded my
motherboard (From a Gigabyte GA-K8U S754 to an Asus K8N nForce 3 250 S754) so
everytime I run Vista Beta 2 the motherboard constantly "beeps" (a constant
"beep beep beep etc"), the beeping starts at the boot loading screen and
stops when I shutdown Vista, however, after downloading the latest updates
for Beta 2 the problem stoped. BUT I have recently upgraded to Vista RC-1 and
the beeping has returned!!

I would like to note my machine is currenty dual-booted with Vista RC-1 and
XP Home Edition SP2 (and the problem is not present in XP) I've tried looking
up what the beeping means in the m/b manual and the Asus homepage with little
luck, I have also tried updating the m/b chipset drivers in Vista, but Asus
supply no Vista support at all and Nvidia only have Vista drivers for the
Network Controller and onboard Audio for the nForce 3 chipset, I haven't
tried updating the BIOS yet (but I don't really want to if I can help it as I
don't like messing with my BIOS as it is working fine, minus this problem) I
was woundering if other people have this problem? or know of what I can try
todo next? or even a possible solution? thanks in advance for any helpful
information.
