Please diagnose my problem!

Hi,

I was merrily using my PC when suddenly it gave me a blue screen of death.
This is what it said

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

There was more stuff though unfortunately I've forgotten it now.

So I restart and it wont even get to the post screen and the motherboard is
beeping. It's a constant beeping, about a 1 second long beep followed by
approximately a 1 second pause and then beeps again - and it does this
continuously.

So after lots of restarting, turning off and leaving for a while then trying
again, it went to the BIOS page and under the CPU settings it said something
like your CPU is running too fast...

>From what I've read when looking up this problem it seems it could be a
power problem (or at least that is what people have said on forums).

I tried another power supply but I still get the beeping and no post screen.
MY LCD monitor doesn't even appear to be getting a signal.

I pulled out my RAM and still got the same beeping so I guess the problem
occurs before a RAM check is made.

My motherboard is an ASUS A7V8-X. My CPU IS an AMD 2600+

Any help much appreciated!
