I'm fairly sure it has to be a special case speaker plugged into the pins near where the case on/off switch plugs in for you to hear any error beeps. Plugging in speakers into the back where the keyboard and mouse plug in won't work.
Seems I have the same problem as you Oddw1re. Although like someone recomended, I took it to a PC shop. He said it was all wired correctly (yey for me) but he took it apart and put it together again and it worked!. He said he just reseated everything and it was exactally the same as it was when I took it in. Anyways, I paid (£40) for him to sort it and as I had a new system I just told him to sort everything out, i.e put Vista on and get the drivers sorted.
Brought it home. Started it up and it was working all last night. Yey, was loving some Team Fortress 2, Went to bed, Woke up this morning, went to work and when I came home for a little gaming sesh tried to turn on the PC and it was doing the same thing as it was before. Fans spinning and making noise just not posting.
It has to be either the CPU or Mobo. Either way im gonna take it back to the PC guy and say "look, its happening again". *sigh* looks like no gaming for me tonight. ******* PCs.
Just orderered a new Motherboard from OCuk. The DS3P. Will arrive tommorow, the PC is still in the shop but if he finds the problem (cpu, ram or PSU) and its not the motherboard at least I cna buy them without hasstle from my local shop.
i had that problem to it turned out to be heatsink not conducting right on the cpu plate, so i got a better cpu fan and heatsink and then it worked fine weird really
