I was doing a budget build for my brother with some old parts I had lying around, I had installed an OS all of the drivers and was set to go. But as the AV software was updating the whole system just froze, no mouse movement, no key responses nothing. I thought it could be the HDD, so I forced it to power down disconnted the HDD but I got no screen showing up, no beeps. I took out the RAM and got a few loud beeps (I think they were the "no ram beeps" if there is such a thing) and still no screen. I tried one ram stick at a time and it's the same thing: no screen no beeps. So I think it's the CPU or motherboard, but how could I be sure? I wouldn't power on if it were just the power supply would it?
