I had to replace the PSU on one of my father's old desktops. It's an old gateway PENT III. I replaced the PSU and no post, just two quick beeps. Some sources say Motherboard or system memory failure. Pretty sure this is older AMI BIOS.
The computer wasn't doing ANYTHING before.. the Power button was lit up, and that was all.
The rig should at least POST with out the HDD connected, right? I was always under the impression that the HDD isn't used until after the POST. The post was all the board and the system test. And this board doesn't have a separate CPU power plug from the PSU. I've never seen that before.
