Background
I have an old emachines desktop computer that I use as a home file server. I took it down for a regular cleaning and I blew out all the dust. I also decided to remove the floppy drive and an extra optical drive in the machine so that I could free up the inside of extra wires for better ventilation.
Problem
When I put it all back together and tried turning it on I would get nothing on the monitor no bios or anything and I get second long beeps in intervals of 4 seconds.
Troubleshooting
I have tried taking out the [ram,cpu,hdd] blowing it out, and reseating it.
Conclusion
I can't figure out why it won't even display the bios startup screen. It should still boot even though I removed non essential hardware shouldn't it?
