Sadly enough, it didn't solve anything. I took it out, put it on carboard, left one stick of memory in. Same issue. I tried swapping out video cards, one an 8x 128 mb Geforce card PNY, and then some old 64 mbit 4x AGP I had laying around, where the s-video connection for it was an add on chip, I know what you're thinking, classy.
But still the same results. I popped out the fan and processor, checked to make sure there werent any random hairs or the obligatory cheeto crumbs that seem to shed off geeks like me that found their way in there or some other odd obstruction and reset them in their home. Still no beeps as well.
I've noticed two things.
One, when I switch the power on the fans on the CPU and video card have like a 'jump' spin. A brief jolt of power that causes them to spin and then stop. I'd say maybe then it could be a short, but on cardboard?
Also at boot when I clear cmos I see a message towards the top that says
<CPUID: 0FF0 PATCH ID: 003A
I don't know if this is related to anything because its beyond my current knowledge but if it helps, then there it is.
If you guys can think of anything else I really appreciate it, even getting a response, I didn't think I would even get one since what's happening is one of the oddest things I've encountered in assembly.
Thanks again for any and all help current and coming!
