Try it and see. Learning isn't solely about reading and asking questions - it's also about doing.

No memory would give alarm beeps. The sequence is different with different motherboards.

nope. the mobo will beep.

I _think_ that the BIOS has to copy itself from firmware into system memory before the processor can begin executing the POST. If that's true, then no system memory means no way for the processor to begin executing the POST code.

The direct answer to the question is "No!"

If the CPU is good you will hear a beep code error. (assuming the PC speaker is connected to the headers OR the motherboard has its own speaker onboard.)

if the mobo is dead it won't post neither w/ or w/out ram (or all other parts involved) ..

nothing says "dayum!" like a bnib retail dead mobo after testing outside the case and all the other pieces are running fine in another setup just fine ...

As mentioned before, the response to the question with the scenario given is NO!

Your sig says otherwise! Unless, you're referring to your job with windows!
