I was given two relatively new (for me) PCs - a Dell Optiplex GX60 and
an HP Pavilion 563W, each with stickers indicating that they have
Windows XP Home installed. But, while they appear complete inside,
someone pulled the RAM out, and I don't have any PC2100 DDR RAM handy. I
tried to power them up without ram, but all I got were POST beeps and
nothing at all on the monitor. Before I invest in any RAM, does this
complete lack of anything on the monitor indicate a fried MB, or is the
problem only likely lack of RAM?
Both machines have integrated video cards and no AGP slots, so I can't
swap components. I don't even have another machine with that kind of RAM
to "borrow" from for a test.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Mike
