Have a major problem with my PC. Switched it on last night and, although it powered up, I got nothing. Not even a hello beep from the POST.

Nothing appears on the screen. The Hard Disk light comes on every now and then for a few seconds and you can hear all the fans spin etc, but nothing else.

Have now practically dismantled it and the only time I can get it to do anything is when the processor is removed at which point it gives a burst of alternating beeps, almost like a siren. I have read elsewhere that this is a processor overheat, but since I don't have a processor in it, it can't be overheating!

What do you guys think? It's an ASUS P4B533 board with an Pentium 4 2.4GHz Proc in it, running an Award bios.

Thanks! Getting frantic!
