THE case lights go on and everything. What's going on!?

CPU fan goes on as well. I'm not sure what's happening. DVD light also blinks. I don't have an attached monitor so I just turn the PC on and attach a speaker and there is no beep and I press the DELETE button many times. What's happening? Help!

I have GIGABYTE H110M-A mATX mobo.

Hey, I attached the speakers to the jack on the back of my case (not the MOBO). Why isn't it beeping?

This is a new pc. I haven't messed with the MOBO. settings or installed it or anything like that. Just turning it on and no beeps even w/press DEL. key.

I can't attach a monitor right now as I need to buy a DVI-I cable to VGA should I get that first and try it but shouldn't it beep even w/out a monitor? What's going on?

You should get a monitor hooked up as that will be the only way to troubleshoot it. The "beep" only goes trough the speaker header. Note the motherboard has no speaker. Look in the manual at the front panel connections for power, reset, etc you will see there is a speaker header. If your case has a speaker it will have a speaker plug to fit this header but some cases don't. You can not use the sound related outputs(line out/SPDIF) outputs on the back of the motherboard for diagnostic post beeps.

Front panel header is that on the front of the case?

Back panel audio won't work? But isn't that from the mobo. Can you explain?

I have NZXT Source 210, do you think it has a speaker header? I don't remember plugging in a speaker header (well actually I plugged in F_AUDIO) so I plug it in the front panel audio header (the speakers)?

Look on page 16 in your manual:
http://download.gigabyte.ru/manual/mb_manual_ga-h110m-s2pv(ddr3)_e.pdf

At the top of the page it will show the front panel header that is on the mother board. This is where you hook up the cases power, reset, hdd light, and speaker cables to the motherboard. Correct, back panel audio doesn't get the diagnostic beeps routed to it. They do this because its another point of failure where a simple speaker sent a tone always works vs having a sound card/sound processor etc.

The front panel audio is for your headphone jacks on the top front of the case so no.

No unfortunately, when I connected all the cables in my case all I saw was HD_AUDIO and I plugged that into F_AUDIO. So that means my case does not have a speaker cable? I'm pretty sure I plugged in everything. So how can I test this? Using a monitor?

One of these will do the trick(might look through your motherboard goodies and see if it has one but not likely):

Monitor is the best bet but if you have issues booting you would want to hear the post code beeps to know what is wrong.
