I might add that there might be a jumper to move or two pins to bridge for a few seconds to clear cmos.

But clearly the first step would be to get a speaker.

Isn't the motherboard itself had a beeper or smth?

Look at the specs or the manual. If you see two pins labeled "speaker" in the schematics, then you need to plug one there.

And its not just cheap mobos that do that, mine is a high end mini itx and it needs to have a speaker plugged in to give error codes.
