Booting Problem: CPU or RAM related?

My dormmate's computer just stopped working. First off it is an EMachine with a Cyrix MII 300 and 32MB Ram. When you turn it on it displays the EMachine splash screen and stops. My guess is either a dead cpu or stick of ram. I can't listen to the beeps to determine the problem because it has no pc-speaker. I reseated the CPU and RAM which produced no different results. Any guesses?

Thanks.
 
Well, reseat the CPU and video card (unless it's built in). If it is then try to borrow a video card.
Can you get imto the Bios?
Does it come with a "Restore" CD-Rom?
A bad CPU should not give you any video display at all.
Can you boot to dos, floppy, or "safe mode"?
 
call e-machines, their tech support is ok since theres a lot of weird things about them. i called before and found out how their CD-ROM works even the puter is off since its special and acts as an stand alone cd player.
