i just took a bunch of my old computers and tried to put them togeather to make one good one. they are all older componets but they all still worked. when i boot the system i get no beebs or display. i tried switching the video card and got the same results. i then switched the memory sticks to see if i had bad memory. still the same. i then switched processors with the same results. i double checked all connection to make sure everything was tight. all was. i tried the video card in a different computer and it worked. would a dead battery for the bios backup give me these results? what eles could it be. thank you for any replies.
