is this on a case or no case?
I think it is ground problem
Usually mobos like asus has some safety features that won't let it start if there is some ground or metal sticking into something..
check for screws underneath the mobo...

@ektwr: No onboard speaker from what I could tell on that board.

A recent photo of your hardware setup would be helpfull.
1) Try to take everything out of the motherboard.
With the main AC cord out, put only the PSU connectors (both of them) to the mobo.
2) Now put the ram and check double to put it in the correct slot!
3) Give power to system with NO GPU connected.
Listen how many beeps you here.
Be advised from your user manual to check if only GPU is missing.
4) If it's ok, then switch off the psu and put only one GPU and put the psu connectors too.
5) Try to connect the monitor and cross your fingers!
6) If it's open and produce the bios image, ok
7) After that try to put the next GPU and do the same with the connections
Finish with all of them and keep you eye on temperature and fan's.
Hope that helps a little

Try the RAM module in each slot available, starting with the left slot (closest to the CPU). Double check that the 8-Pin CPU power connector is plugged in (top of the blue heatsink on the left). Remove the GPU and see if you are able to hit the num lock key on the keyboard after some seconds, the light on the keyboard should alternate between on and off.
Yes I will be trying that too. I tried the Asus flashback thing but it didn't work for me. So, might try doing it with Sempron inserted and trying to boot it.
It could be that the BIOS/UEFI needs to be updated in order to support your 8350. Any possible way to obtain a different, supported CPU and flashing it with that?
My rig specs :
M5A99FX PRO R2.0 Motherboard (https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99FX_PRO_R20/)
AMD FX 8350 (http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/amdfx/Pages/amdfx-product-brief.aspx)
G.Skill RipjawsX DDR3 1866Mhz 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) PC RAM
WD Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD20EZRX)
MSI AMD Radeon HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 DVI/HDMI/2xMini DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card R7950 TWIN FROZR 3 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007NG3WR2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
SeaSonic X-SERIES X-1050 1050W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151110&IsVirtualParent=1)
Problem faced :: When I hit the start button on the case, the fans on processor, GPU and case - all start spinning all good. But I get NOTHING on the monitor.
And additionally, I see a SOLID RED CPU LED light on the motherboard when I start it. The display remains absolutely blank. It says no signal.
I have tried 2 other monitors and they also got no signal.
Things I have tried ::
1) Tried different monitors - didn't work. I don't even see any start up bios things.
2) Tried reseating all the components - still won't work.
3) Tried flashing my BIOS to make my motherboard recognize the FX 8350. The flashback doesn't work.
4) Tried resetting the CMOS - Didn't help.
Possible fixes I am thinking of doing ::
1) Trying a different Power Supply.
2) Trying the GPU on another setup to see if it works fine.
3) Checking the RAM on another system.
4) RMAing the mobo (might be Dead on Arrival)
PLEASE help me. I spent a lot of money on this system and now it won't boot.
