I just built my first computer, and mine did not beep either, but all was fine and it is running great. I use a tv, not a monitor, but until I installed the drivers I had to go vga chord into the computer. Once I installed the drivers I then could hook it up with hdmi to dvi.
Finished my first build.

Well I dont think I am getting a signal from the pc to the monitor. It keeps flashing from analog to digital. Read another guide that said some motherboards do not beep so dunno. I hear the rom drive start turning with vista in it and I THINK I hear the hard drive running. Hard to tell over all of the fans.
??
Do I need to have a wired keyboard and mouse? and not have it plugged into USB since it can not pick up the auto stuff yet?

We are about to plug speakers up to see if we can hear any beeps through them. Read that it might beep through the speakers and if we hear nothing then to try making sure that the processor is in properly
Hey guys, I still need help trying to get this thing up and running.
Does anyone have any ideas?
We took out the graphics card and put it back in. We checked all of the power wires and made sure that they where connect.
Don't really know where to go to next.

Oh and I read that I might can take it apart and basically start over and benchmark it as I build. Thoughts on this?

Have you plugged both power plugs into the motherboard?
Have you plugged both power plugs into the gpu?
Have you tried booting with just 1 stick of ram?
I did not quite understand your last question.

I have the one big plug going into the motherboard over near the ram and I have another one near the sink(sink power I think), and another bigger one near the sink(CPU power I think).
Is the second motherboard plug as big as the first?
Both power plugs are in the gpu.
Have not started it with 1 stick of ram. That is what I kind of meant about the benchmark testing.
It says to plug CPU, heatsink, 1 stick of ram, graphics card in and see if it does something on the screen. It then says to add one part at a time and continue to run benchmark test after every part, basically start it up after every part is added.

- Canada, eh?
Can you get those pictures still?
I had this exact problem, and it turned out to be a defective motherboard. My mobo light was on, and everything was running, just like you described; I must have re-seated everything twelve times.
Is there anywhere you could get your parts tested? I found a place that did free diagnostics, which was awesome.
