please be more specific

i did look up some thigns on a board i THINK is yours a product code like Tyan Tiger i7505 or something

The E2 code may have something to do with he RAM, its very picky i guess but i cant guarantee this info because i don't know the MOBOs make and model

Well yes it does when it finds the code they are short in alternating sound like a two tone siren.  I thought it may have somethiing to do with one strip of RAM will this board need it fitted in pairs? Many thanks for your help and advice.  Thx
