Did you upgrade any hardware and then have troubles? or did you develope the bootless system as is? Perhaps your supply went bad.

The two most common beep code errors are RAM and Video. RAM is usually short beeps and video long beeps. You said you "replaced" everything - does this mean you actually bought new components or removed and replaced the existing bits? The most troublesome components to fit are RAM chips. Remove the RAM you have installed, clean the contact strips on the chip (use a pencil eraser for this) and reseat the RAM, making sure that it clips into place properly and is firmly seated (give it a bit of a rocking motion after the clips are locked), reboot and test (use only 1 RAM stick if you have more than one).

You can also perform the same cleaning routine on your video card and then reseat it as described above.
