flip the pins on the case speaker just for $h!ts and giggles. Double check you are on the right speaker pins and that all pins are actually inside the jumper.
If it is indeed correct, and your mobo is not making any sounds at all, your mobo is dead.
EDIT: another thing.. make sure you are not shorting out. Check your motherboard standoffs, and be sure that none of them are hitting anything other than the grounding ring on the motherboard. Also make sure there is no stray metal pieces in the case that might be shorting.

Crazy question, but since it's obvious that you don't get alot of the fine points about building your own computer... when you installed just the CPU and fired it up, did you also have the CPU fan on it when you fired it up? I ask this not to be mean, but it could explain an aweful lot.

oh my god.... I pray you are kidding..... I mean... you have to be....... right?
I....
Wow dude.... you realize that you NEED a heatsink and fan on a CPU right? especially an Athlon... if that system was on for more than a minute with that cheap motherboard, your CPU is total toast.
You ARE kidding right.... please tell me you are kidding. I refuse to believe that people can..... wow.

Nope, not kidding, i figured id only had it on for about 10 seconds at a time, soi didnt wanna smash the heatsink on it having to take it off and reput it on again, but it probebly is toast now, i guess i learned something new today tho, always put a heatsink on. Anyone know where i can buy a computer that has a vid card with s video, 512 ram cheap, any emachines for instance have these qualities?
