Not sure if you'll get a boot with no memory doc. But give it a go

With no memory installed, what should happen if the motherboard is good is that it should go through the Power-On-Self-Test and then it should show an error message saying something like "No ram installed", that will at least indicate that the motherboard's BIOS is good, if I get that then I'll be pretty relieved.


The motherboard BIOS is like a mini operating system that tells the CPU what peripherals are connected to the motherboard, it also does the initial checks and tests before the system boots up and stops the boot sequence if there's a problem somewhere.
