I feel your pain, I build computers at my job, and the 'it runs, but there's no picture' problem is one I've oft dealt with. it can suck, tracking down the error.

things to consider:

you've an award bios, here's the beep codes

and indeed sounds like a memory problem.

yes, test it with some good memory, that's usually the first thing I'd do in your situation.

you say it turn/stays on ... do you have to hold the power button for a few seconds to get it to turn off?

and, did you reseat the proc? ... just because, it's not a bad idea to try that too if you're stumped.
