Build the system as detailed in this thread. Could you also let us know exactly what components you're using in this system?

As your questions have moved on to a completely different subject from the original question about a monitor, I've moved all these posts into a new thread in the Build Your own PC forum, entitled 'boot problems'.

That's the piezo speaker that gives you the BIOS beeps and various alarm sounds.

Check that the CPU heatsink is installed properly.

Make sure the video card and RAM and fully installed in the slots.

If you have spare parts that are compatible with this motherboard you may want to try replacing the RAM and then the video card to see if either is defective.

And could you please use some punctuation marks...your sentences just run on and they're very difficult to read.

The alarm sound you're hearing...exactly what kind of sound is it making? Repeated beeping? Hi-Lo alarm? A wailing alarm? If you can describe the sound better we may be able to pin point the problem for you.

its like a. sound that the old pc tape games used to make when loading . do u remember them?
you get 1 singal beep then a repeating beep that dose not stop . its a mix of high and lo pich
