1. Run the appropriate diagNostics if possible.
2. Turn off the System and disConnect the Power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Remove all Expansion Cards from the System except the Video Card if applicable.
4. Reseat all Memory modules.
5. Reattach the Power and turn on the System.
6. If there's still No POST then repeat step 2
7. Reseat the all Processors.
8. Reattach the Power and turn on the System.
9. If there's still No POST then repeat step 2
10. Remove all Memory modules from the System Board.
11. Reattach the Power and turn on the System.
12. Listen for any audible beep codes. If there is then a Memory module could be the issue.
Replace each module one at a time using the same Dimm Slot for each module, reapplying Power and attempting the boot process until the faulty module is determined.
1. If No beep code is heard then and the System contains two Processors then turn off the System and disConnect the Power cord from the electrical outlet and remove the second Processor.
2. Reattach the Power and turn on the System.
3. If there's still No POST then turn off the System and disConnect the Power cord from the electrical outlet.
4. Swap the Processor that was removed from CPU socket 2 with the Processor in CPU socket 1.
5. Reattach the Power and turn on the System.
6. If No POST, error code or beep code is given at this point, then it's likely the System Board is faulty and needs replacing.
