I am unable to identify the bleep code from my Dell optiplex tower. I have a recording of the noises. I am unable to even reach the bios or boot from liveCD so doubt it is a hard drive problem.

I have tried both the graphics card (hdmi and divix) and the motherboards own vga and there is no display on either. Perhaps a monitor issue? I am trying to borrow a second one for another test.

I am unsure of the model this was a handme down. I belive it to be standard ATX in a midtower.

I do know a GPU was added in,I'm unsure if their was any other additions or alterations. It was blank when I recived it and I installed xbuntu on it.(default settings)

Not sure if this helps in narrowing down the model.

Everything was working fine,until we moved. The last thing I did was also apt-get update so It's possible there was damage in transit, when I looked SATA cables appeared to have been dislodged. It's possible I bricked it or knocked something else out or reconnected them improperly.

(I never thought to photograph the inside before moving)

Your link doesn't work for me. You've also forgotten to add the model of your OptiPlex and it's form factor. You should also include the last thing you did on it before the issue cropped up and if you performed any aftermarket modification to it.
