Welcome to Radio Shack. There are about four in walking distance of me. There is
one where I think the staff might actually know something. The competance of the rest begins and ends with attempting to cell you a cell phone and service contract.

The problem is the computer froze this morning ... no mouse control. Keyboard was working, but no mouse. I shut it down and rebooted ... still no mouse. So, I shut it down again and hooked up my cabled mouse and keyboard (thinking that there was something wrong with the bluetooth connection), and while there is power ... it won't kick into the BIOS .... I just get a black screen (well, actually four black screens). Took it down to the bare bones ... just the mobo, one stick of RAM, and the HD .... and now, all I get is one continuous ear piercing beeeeeeeep, and four black screens.

Do you have a manual for the motherboard? Generally speaking, they beed in different ways for different kinds of failures.
Which make/model of mobo is it, and which BIOS?
