Are the header wires from the front bezel to the mobo hooked up right? CPU fan hooked up to the mobo?

I guess so. How would that affect it? Power on is power on... that is the only one that could change anything. And it would just default on.

yea its just siting on top of it not even clipped on. Just sitting there to make sure the cpu is ok. I booted it up the first time and got the cpu beeps. Then after pulling the battery, and resetting cmos now its a siren. WTF?

mobile bartons are monster overclockers and are unlocked - nothing else like them.. So you said you had the heatsink on not clipped on the socket??? no wonder it's beeping - it's overheating! and you fried the thing too if it doesnt post anymore..
