I moved my tower, disconnecting everything, and when I hooked it back up, there is now a constant beep and the monitor is black. I've checked and rechecked to see if everything is plugged back in right and it is. I unhooked everuthing again, except the power cord and it is still beeping, so it can't be anything plugged in. Please, someone help!

Moving can often lead to components jiggling loose and needing to be removed and reseated. The most common things are add-in adapter cards and memory modules. The motherboard should be completely depowered (power cord unplugged for 30+ seconds) before removing any component. Connecting PS/2 style mouse and keyboard backwards can also lead to beeping with some motherboards.
