Good. My point was that beep codes can be misleading.
When I did not get any beep or video, I thought the mainboard or CPU might be bad. I expected the mainboard to tell me by a beep code if a memory module is bad. Not always the case. Perhaps the memory is defect in such a way that the mainboard is waiting for the memory to complete an operation. The diagnostic system then hangs. Of course, in your case, it seems the mainboard has a problem.

Just guessing :-)
