Having some problems and just wondering,
will I get BIOS beeps if I have just the mobo installed without CPU, RAM and graphics?

Here is my system:
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe, nForce 570 SLI
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
Arctic-Cooling Alpine 64
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400
Asus EN8600GT SILENT/2DHT/256M
Western Digital Caviar SE16, 7200rpm, 16MB, 320GB
CoolerMaster Elite 330 RC-330-KKN1-GP
Thermaltake TR2 RX 450 Watt, ATX 12V 2.0

those beeps mean that something is wrong. check the mobo manual for exactly what those beeps mean.

Since you already had problems relating to what is most likely bad grounding and rebooting issues while plugging in USB devices you may be causing other issues to develop with this board.

 

There are a few errors that the motherboard can alert you to without a CPU installed. Those are usually related to power issues, grounding, and an improper setting on a dip switch.

Just for the record, the ASUS M2N SLS Delux DOES NOT PEEP if no CPU is installed.

My system works fine now (after installing CPU, RAM and video)
Thanks for everybody who helped.
