I have had very poor experience with the technical knowledge at fry's electronics. Data doctors is good but pricy. <div><br></div><div>Some things you can try is pull all components except CPU and the rest the bios. If you get beeps your board is not 100% gone.</div>
<div>The add one stick ram and video. If you still get beeps try another stick of ram. If you still get beeps but no post try an alternate graphics card or see about testing it in another machine.</div><div><br></div><div>
CPU fail rates are ridiculously low but not impossible. After that go round you can try pulling it along with everything else and give it one more try empty and see if there is a beep code.</div><div><br></div><div>Then final step would be for try an alternate power supply. I have seen them go bad and not give the right power to the core so it comes up but never all the way.</div>
