Ok, got a PC from a woman that works with my mum to try and fix for
her. Symptoms are that when I switch it on I can hear all the fans
running then after about 2 seconds I get a constant very fast beeping
and that's it, no video, POST, nowt. I suspected the PS so I swapped
it for one that I know is working and the same symptoms persist. I
took the side cover off and the fan on top of the heatsink sounds
like a car revving up and down, it does this about 4 times then the
beeping starts. I took the heatsink and fan off and gave them a good
clean. When I switched the PC back on I left off the 12v 4 pin
connecter that sits next to the heatsink and fan, no revving BUT also
no POST. What I'm not too sure about is, is the CPU dead or is it the
MB? Or maybe something different, any help much appreciated.
