Not hearing the beep would lead me to believe it's a gpu/monitor/video cable problem. normally, if I don't hear the startup beep, it's always something wrong with the video card or I forgot to plug in the monitor.
One beep on startup is to signify a good POST. Maybe its just a coincidence for you but its a fact that one beep is a successful POST. More then one beep, then you got some problems.

Ah, I guess I have just always had gpu issues when it doesn't beep. (perhaps because my only system I've ever really overclocked I've purposely removed/disabled the speaker)
