Does anybody know where to get a list of beep error codes for said mainboard? It's not in the manual and I can't find it on the Abit homepage. I'm specifically interested in a 2 second long beep followed by 5 seconds of silence and the whole thing repeats over and over. I know that the rest of the hardware is okay as it's working just fine in an MSI K7T266 mainboard as I'm typing this.

A single tone, repeated over and over. This is a memory problem (could be the DIMM, the controller, or the CPU cache memory).

What do the BIOS beep codes mean?

There are a number of beep code you may experience:

No beep at all - this means your motherboard is dead, either due to a defective or underpowered power supply, poorly seated CPU or RAM, or a dead-on-arrival board
One beep - board is working fine
One long beep then machine shuts down - faulty, improperly installed or missing CPU
1 short(Beep) System booting is normally
2 short(Beep) CMOS setting error
1 long - 1 short(Beep) DRAM ERROR
1 long - 2 short(Beep) Display card or monitor connected error
1 long - 3 short(Beep) Keyboard Error
1 long - 9 short(Beep) ROM Error
Long(Beep) continuous DRAM isn't inserted correctly.
Short(Beep) continuous POWER supply has a problem
A two-tone siren, generally caused by overheating or out of specification voltages.
Four beeps then machine shuts down. This is because this version of the BIOS will shut down your machine if no fan tachometer signal is detected on the fan header. Make sure you attach a fan to the FAN1 or FAN4 header or clear CMOS to reset to default (no checking).
