I bought a cheap project pc off facebook marketplace that needed ram, harddrive and gpu. I got ram for it and tried booting it, but no post. fans spin to 100%. I've already gone through the check list for no post/boot on the forum. When i first turned it on without ram, it made a few beeps which i assume was just for ram. When i put ram in, it made 4 short beeps, then after installing a different stick, 2 beeps, then after cmos clear made a short beep like a successful boot, but i had no display. After troubleshooting a little bit, the motherboard has stopped beeping completely. I've tried putting in a gpu and using integrated graphics, tried 4 sticks of ram and reseating the cpu/reapplying thermal paste. Is the motherboard dead? The owner before me had clearly gotten into it because the cpu is not what the post had said and what is on the sticker on the side of the case.
