Explanation
POST (Power On Self Test) beep codes are generated by the BIOS to signal hardware errors before the system can display anything on screen. A single continuous or long repeating beep is a widely recognized BIOS beep code indicating a memory (RAM) failure or that RAM is not properly seated. During a motherboard swap, RAM modules must be reseated into the new board. A shorted motherboard would typically prevent any power at all. An unconnected keyboard may generate a beep on some legacy systems, but not a long repeating beep. An insufficient power supply would more likely cause a shutdown or failure to post power at all, not a specific beep pattern.
