Check the Documentation for list of Beep codes.
Constant beeping is a memory (NO Memory installed) warning.
reseat your memory.

Where are you fans connected? To the power supply directly or to the Mother board?

If the fan that stops running cools the CPU and it's connected to the motherboard, then it's a good bet that your CPU is toast.
If that's the problem and you have to install a new CPU, then buy a 3 pin-to-4 pin adapter and connect the fan directly to the power supply's 12 volt leg.
