Kind of depends on the motherboard, do you have the manual for it (or know the model to get the manual online)?

But things that I could think of that might do that:

- No memory or memory isn't installed fully or memory is so dead that it can't be seen - try re-seating or 1 stick at a time if your motherboard doesn't require them in pairs

- No CPU fan, if the CPU fan isn't spinning and it's hooked into the motherboard, some will beep and halt the CPU so that you don't fry your CPU

- Could also be the video card, some video cards require additional power to them and will protest if the system is turned on without that power
