No beep with new motherboard.

My specs:

ASROCK K7VT4A Pro
AMD Sempron 2800+
2x 256MB DDR RAM
ATI RADEON 9250 256MB


All the jumpers are in the right place and I'm thinking that it's either the motherboard or the CPU. :(

Help?
 
the motherboard beeps once to confim a successful hardware presence check.
and always has a code of beeps for any other problem.

as long as you are sure your system speaker is connected.

if you still hear no beeps your motherboard is broken
 
Not always.
I had a thread about this not too long ago, and some mobos beep, others do not. Friend of mine has had three machines in a row over the years (a Dell and two eMachines) and none beeped after a POST. Both of my pc's, ( a DEC and an eMachines) beep after a POST.
Do you get fans spinning? Does your floppy grind away looking for a boot disk? Do you get anything at all on the monitor screen? Is your monitor the same one you used in the past?
Triple-check all your cables inside. Re-seat all your cards. I had this happen to me once and I'd forgotten to seat the auxiliary CPU power connector.
