Some newer boards don't beep; all require a case speaker lead or tiny speaker that is plugged in to 4 pins on the board. The speaker port on the back doesn't work for the board, only external speakers. If windows loads to the login screen, you are fine. Don't worry about the flashing lights. My board has 4, all red that flash in a certain order. If the board won't post and the lights stay on, then you can troubleshoot using the board manual.
