Depends on the motherboard. On most "modern" systems that don't have a 
POST beep, it usually means the BIOS has a message on-screen. it could 
be as simple as a keyboard error, or something like a message stating 
the processor was overclocked too much (Yes-- I've seen it, no I didn't 
overclock, I think CMOS memory got junked somewhere along the way.)

But, check with the OEM or board manufacturer for any codes.

Of course, on some systems there's a beep on start-up if everything is 
fine.
