Fixing Old Computer, 2 Beeps and No Video

[watsonduskfang]

Trying to fix a friend's old computer, on plugging it in the computer starts properly and stays up, but no video goes to a verified to work monitor. After about 15 seconds there are 2 beeps and nothing more happens.

I tried looking up the motherboard for some sort of manual, but had no luck. All I found on the motherboard itself was "QSVN71801092 PBA D37261-901".

I figured out two short beeps generally means a problem with the RAM, and there are 4 lights next to each other near the RAM which were either off or flashing orange or red. I tried going only two RAM sticks at a time (there are 8 sticks, all DDR2), but no combination ended up working to bring video to the monitor. On the front of the case is also a warning symbol with a light next to it, and after the two beeps the light went from off to orange.

I hope someone can help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

It looks like an old Intel server board, as per the "D37261-901" code: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/motherboards/server/sb/s5000psl_thol_29.pdf

I haven't been able to find the list of error beeps, though.

Have you tried with just one RAM stick?

Also, what are you using to output video? a discrete GPU? Or does the board include an integrated GPU?

If you remove ALL ram, is the beep the same?
No RAM - maybe 2 beeps, which is also, not detecting RAM.
But if you remove all of it, maybe NO RAM is 4 beeps, meaning the 2 beeps you are getting is something else - if that makes sense
