The memory doesnt need to be in place, it would still beep. Same if you took the CPU out.

Sounds like a bad MOBO to me. Sry

I just had this same problem about a week ago. tried everything you have tried. after about a week of it not working i realized it was the power supply. power went out on that and killed the mobo. had to get new mobo and psu...

PSU hugh? well i'll take one of mine out and stick it in there. too bad i already got rid of my "tester PSU"

might as well give it a try, better to know FOR SURE than just tell him he's SOL.

thanks connor.

ok, the guy brought two of his PSU's and when i plug them in, on started up and then made a "sizzle" sound and shut off. the other will start up then shut down, every time i push the power button.

at least the first one will start up all the way... now im totally lost as to wether its the mobo/the psu/ or if its the mobo stopping the second two PSU's from running

~pulls out hair!!

lol

Could be a Short in the motherboard causing the Power supply to shut off as a fail safe. If you really want to test the power supply get one of these:

It's possible when a power supply wears out that it will permanently damage the motherboard. This may have happened in this situation.

Megabytes, if that is the case, then i really cant say for sure if the second PSU's are bad or if they aren't working because of the MOBO, with out testing them right?
