All cards, floppy and IDE cables have been removed from a Pentium PC which power up all drives and fans, including the CPU fan, but with no beeps and no video display. I tried a known-to-be-working PCI video card, with no improvement. When the single stick DIMM RAM was removed, a single beep with a periodicity of ~2 seconds was made by the case speaker.
The mainboard is out of the case now, has only the single RAM DIMM, CPU, CPU fan, system speaker and power supply connected and, when started by shorting the power switch jumper pins, the result is the same: no beeps...when the RAM module is removed, the repeating single ~2 second beep.
Please help me diagnose this friend's PC. Thanks.
