+1 for trying Allan but the OP doesn't have a buzzer installed. You can often tell more from what you are not told than from what you are.

The reason for not hearing any beeps is that there is no device to emit them.

Prioris

I would advise you to install a buzzer and then we can move on from there.

[Aussie Allan]

  Breath in......breath out.........breath  in ............

[prioris]

INSTALL BUZZER!!!!

you can't be serious

[Dark Mantis]

Yes, very much so. With a buzzer installed we might be able to make a bit more sense of the problem.

[prioris]

I may have to resort to bringing computer on monday to place that repairs computers to see if they can diagnose it since they may be more set up to plug and play with parts. I just want to make sure I did what I could do on my end.

[Dark Mantis]

Not being funny but that is probably the best idea as if you don't have much experience with computers it can get a bit over your head when trying to faultfind. Please let us know how you get on though.

*
For test the good functionnaly of a motherboard you can with a minimum of components  :

Only Motherboard , CPU, Cooler , one memory stick in good place and

--> connect only a good PS2 keyboard

Start on , look the keyboard LED numlock normal is ON , push key numlock , look if LED numlock change to off

If that is OK stop and continue the test

If that is not possible you have a problem with CPU / RAM or Motherboard  

Also test with another power supply

--> After

Use if possible an old VGA / PCI card ( because use few power ) , connect a screen

Start  if you have the BIOS on the screen --> GOOD

Continue with your PCI-E VGA card  ....

Reinstall the others devices one by one ...

will try that later on
