It is obvious that your system is NOT booting. Recheck the wiring harness and ensure that the motherboard is wired correctly. Check for boot. Take your memory out and then reseat the modules. Check for boot. Take your CPU fan and CPU out, clean with alcohol pad and put new thermal paste. Check for boot. If none of these solutions work then I would assume that you have a bad motherboard or CPU.

P.S.

When you perform the procedures I suggested make sure that nothing i.e. hard drives, cdroms, etc. are connected to the motherboard.

Also try switching out your power supply.

A 320 watt power supply seems a little light. I would try a 400W or better.

A problem with the CPU, memory , power supply or the motherboard itself will cause this problem. Try reseating the CPU and the memory. Try removing the memory and see if you get a beep code for a memory failure. If you don.t you probably have either a bad cpu or a bad motherboard.

The system speaker is usually a set of four pins and you use the outside pair to connect the speaker. You may need to go to the Asus web site to download the manual if you don't have it. Try to reset the bios either by shorting the appropriate pins or by removing the battery for a while.
