I was trying to figure out why my motherboard isn't making any noise when it is

 Yes. I guess I misspoke myself. I didn't really want to know what
components are needed for a computer to post. I was trying to figure
out why my motherboard isn't making any noise when it is connected to
a power supply. I know that the power supply works and I was assured
 that the motherboard worked, but still I'm getting nothing.

There may be additional power needed for the board, or the board batt.
is dead. Have you checked all the jumpers?

I am sure others here know more than I, but I believe any of this
could keep the board from doing anything, feel fre to correct me if I
am wrong.
 hope this helps
