Assuming the system has a speaker on the motherboard and beeps when working properly, it could be pretty much anything from a short with the case, to every single hardware piece being bad.

for all myh computer repairs i have ever done andthats alot i have never had a board post beeps before.

i put that speaker thing in the Mobo.
if thats in there, what are the possibilities that theres not post beeps and display?

You're sure the speaker is hooked up right? Connected to the correct pins and everything?

 

[Teny]

yep, pretty much, and i still dont get no beeps.
But the DVD drive is always spinning, the HDD spins for about 5-10 seconds, every fans spins, but no post beeps.
so what are the possibilities of whats wrong?
