ok, hooked up a speaker....still no beeps. I already know the ram wont work so I'm rma'n it for new ram. If the new ram doesnt work, I'll have to send the board in as well :(
ok, i'm about to hook up a speaker to the mobo to check for beeps. Then i'll try it outside the case. It'll probably confirm what i already suspect is the problem, faulty ram. Then, its off to the PO rma this ram.
Thanks guys for your help :)
Ok, i've figured out from the mobo forum that some ocz ram doesnt work in msi boards, so its goin back. but i still need to know one thing, do i need to get a speaker for this case or is the mobo supposed to beep without one? I'm gonna try a speaker from an old case tomorrow and see what goes...
First i have a question....My case did not come with a speaker, do the new mobos not need one? (i havent built i computer since my pentium III) That could explain why i am unable to get any beeps (not to mention make me feel dumb) :(
After reading numerous posts, and your replies here is...

amd 3500+ am2
msi k9n neo
sapphire x850xt pcie
1 gig ddr2 667 ocz...
