Beeping is the bios' way to communicate when it has lost everything else. My room-mate's machine beeps on startup because it can't find the second processor. A different beep combination means "My memory is all dead." If you have the manual for your motherboard, it will usually tell you what the beep sequences mean. If you know what the board is (Manufacturer, designation, etc.), you could probably also google for it. Or if you posted it, perhaps some of the rest of us could help with the search?

Just to make sure I understand -- you flip the switch. Monitor goes green, then amber. Fans and hard drive go "buzz" indicating that you _do_ have power, right? Then, it beeps a whole bunch (in the indicated pattern). Is there anything else we're missing?
