any beeping coming from motherboard.
when you press the power do the fans turn on? if not it has to be psu or mobo
 
check everything is plugged in correctly and all expansion cards taken out and reseated, probably wont help but worth a shot
 
i belive its the motherboard, there is a green light always on indide the computer, on the motherboard! cant say ive herd any beeping tho . . .

it will make sure that the psu works in a basic sence, the psu could still be failing in terms of voltage or current output. But its a good short term indicator
You could combine a jump starts with a multimeter to get the voltage outputs
