HELP: 2.26 Ghz CPU Fried or memory bad?

[SnakeEyes45]

Just building a new system:
* P4 2.26 Ghz 533FSB
* Abit BG7 motherboard
* Antec TruPower 330W PS
* 512MB Corsair PC2700 CAS2
* Lite-on CD-RW

Just booted it up (sans hard drive) last night and ran into problems...

* Immediately when it came on I heard alternating warning tones
* Display indicated my CPU was at 1.7 Ghz and RAM at DDR200
* I changed the settings in the BIOS to 2.26 Ghz and rebooted...
* I then got nothing nothing on the screen and no beeps. Power Supply fan is on, case fans run, CD-RW spins, but nothing else
* I've tried wiping the CMOS using the jumpers on the motherboard to no effect.

Any thoughts?

try taking out the mem and reinsert it back..do that to all component...cpu...pci cards...harddrive cables...etc...make sure everything is secure and try again

Tried that with the mobo outside of the case on electrostatic-safe material. No go. Also tried without RAM in slot. No change in symptoms observed.

I should note that there is a green light labeled standby on the mobo that is on and green. It comes on as soon as the power cord is plugged in and the switch on the back of the PS is on, but before the power switch to the mobo is thrown. After hitting the switch, the green light stays on and the power light (right below it on the BG7 mobo) goes to red.

Troubleshooting 101 boys,

take everything(pci cards, video, ide cables,etc.) off the system board but the proc, heatsink, and power.
try powering on the system, you shoud here beep code long short long, indicating memory error, and/or short short long indicating video error. if you hear no beeps, try a different proc(yours is probably fried), if still no beeps, your mobo is toast. if you hear the beeps indicating memory error, replace your memory and re-test. once you get a successful post, add your other components one at a time beginning with video and ending with your booting hdd last, and re-test in-between each installed component ensuring its not a problem with you pci slots/cards, or ide/irq controllers. The fact that you have flea power inidicates your power supply in very likely in good shape.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried most, but not a different proc, as I don't have one. No tones yet in anything I've tried. Here's some additional info:

* The tones were alternating. Two different tones of same duration, different pitch. The motherboard seems to have a Phoenix BIOS chip on board, though the BIOS itself is Award(?). Unfortunately, I can't retest, as I don't get any tones anymore.
* I've tried using the jumpers to clear the CMOS, but that hasn't worked. I'll try one more time, leaving the jumpers in place a bit longer than before.
* I've tried taking out the Maxell battery on the board, letting sit for 1/2 hour with no power connected, and trying again--no luck.
* There is some residue that scrapes off easily on the CPU itself, using my fingernail. I called Intel and they said this was normal and happens all the time. There is some on the heatsink, too---haven't yet tried to scrape off. No discoloration or blistering on the top or bottom of the CPU though, which I take as a good sign.
* I've tried reseating everything--even tried booting without RAM with just proc, heatsink/fan, and mobo outside of case. No luck.

Question: What do you mean by "flea power"? The fact that my fan is running and/or there is a light on the board?
