I have an old dell vostro 270s sff. No matter what I cannot get it to start. It gives 2 beep codes pause then repeats.
I have tested another cpu different ram cleaned the ram slots and modules. Changed the cmos battery. The only thing left is a defective mobo afaik. Any other ideas of what I could try?

Two beeps means no RAM detected.

This model is old enough that it may not work with newer memory modules -- what memory are you trying?
