Check the following site for more info:

I've just tossed my Asrock board(K7VM2), which I think is a piece of
junk and has given me lots of trouble from Day 1. By the way, Asrock
board uses AMI bios, at least mine does.

What did you mean by "otherwise completely dead"?
 
Okay ,
I've swapped the memory with some which is working fine in another same
Asrock board .
Still the same .... beep beep beep .... repeating . black dead screen .

Sorry to hear that .
I bought three of them and this is the first trouble type trouble .

OCD means ' no other symptoms to report since no other features operational
under current fault condition ' .

If not memory, sounds like dead motherboard. Have you tried clearing
CMOS?

there will be a jumper on the board for this purpose, sometimes labelled
j_batt or some such.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

If all else fails, remove the battery and then replace it.

With main power off or else the standby voltage will keep the CMOS alive
without the battery.
