ASUS P5N-E SLI motherboard gives 10-15 sec bleeps at 0135 each morning. This sudenly started to ocure 4 nights ago.

Keep in mind that if your board has a different BIOS, this may not apply:
ASUS beep code

No, it needs a video card, of any kind, with a monitor attached to power up.

You can download the drivers here:

In the upper left hand corner of the screen, type in the model number of the board (P5N-E SLI) and use the drop down to select a category (probably "All"). Good luck.

Access the manufacturer's web-site:

In the top-left corner, put 'P5N-E' into the search-box, and do the search.
In the next window, click on 'P5N-E SLI'.
Select "Windows XP".
Select the driver(s) that you want to download.

Yes as long as the 9800gtx is PCI Express x16. I am assuming the p5n-e is the Asus MB. Since I couldn't find any other Manufacturer using that MB#

You can upgrade your motherboard's BIOS with the latest version (downloadable at: http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=KyHOsOKWujC2QguJ&content=download). This might help resolve the problem.
If not, then the problem you are having might be because of a bug in Windows 7, since it is not yet the final version.
If possible, you can test whether this is the case or not by backing up your system & installing Windows XP or Vista, and test to see if the problem will persist or not.

The Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 5-5-5-15, should work just fine on the Asus MB.
Here is an expanded approved Qualified Venders List from Asus.

You can also see a smaller QVL list in the manual on page 1-18 & 1-19.
The QVL insures total compatibility with the motherboard.

The NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT will run just fine on the Asus MB. Just make sure your power supply is no less than 500W. A 600W or 650W is preferred.
