What does it mean when the PC wont beep?

Hello,
My 2 month old PC wont beep when it turns on. I checked to see if maybe the speaker wasn't in place anymore so I booted it up with no RAM and got a series of beeps.
I get no display on my monitor even though it was working fine until now.
So what does it mean when it doesn't beep??

Just cause your PSU is under warranty won't mean they'll let you return it and were you not able to test the GPU? Even at a 50 watt difference I do believe you should still be able to see the BIOS and not get the Post Test Error Beep. Also all this tells us is that you're using 450 watts, it's not telling us if the 12v rail for the PCI-E connections are giving the card enough power.

so like you suggested I will buy a cheep graphics card and test that out but anyways 450 watt is cutting it pretty close so im going to get a new PSU.

You know that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and hoping that it will now work. Coincidentally, that is also the definition of troubleshooting.
Well, the pc works!!!! I was planning on taking it to MicroCenter tomorrow but I decided to have one more shot at it. I plugged everything out of the PSU and re-plugged and I also took out the ram and put it back in. I turned it on and it beeps!!
Thank you so much for helping me get through this very scary experience!!!!

NP. Sounds like perhaps something got knocked loose.
