So last night I realized that i forgot to assemble the standoffs and that was probably why my system wasnt booting. Today, however, I reassembled the motherboard with the standoffs in place. But I am still getting the same one beep from my power supply when I attempt to turn on the system. So what may be the problem now?

In case it helps, these are my parts.

If it helps, a white led light shows up when i attempt to power on. That white light according to coolermaster indicates that there is some sort of failure.

Do you get a single short beep? (Comes from the motherboard, not the PSU.)

If so, you have a problem with the internal operation of the graphics card or the monitor and its cable.

A single short beep indicates that the POwerup Self Test (POST) passed. The POST, however, can only check the interface between the motherboard and the video card. It cannot test the actual graphics rendering. That's up to the Mark I eyeball as it watches the monitor display.
