i have a reasonably old machine which when powered up does not access the bios. there is power on motherboard as it lights up and the proccessor fan is running,
the keyboard lights flash as normal and i can feel activity in the hard disk then it just stays like that . checked all leads plugged in ok.
tried changing power supply and hard disk still not accesing bios

help please

hi.
ive tried changing video card and unplugging monitor cable, nothing happens when using the keyboard. and most importantly it does not beep at all. any time ive had a graphic prob in past you get the beeps accordingly but im not even getting to the normal initial beep
thanks
 
thanks ive tried swapping round and with just 1 stick and i dont have any other mem chips of the same kind to try. i have had a look for the bubbling u suggest but cant see anything untoward. to be honest the only thing ive not tried changing so far is the board and proccessor.
