My buddy gave me his computer to look at, cause it's not booting...Plus, it
beeps like an English cop car, even after it gets turned off...I took out
the CPU to see if it was fried, but it looks fine...

My guess would be a mobo problem, but I was wondering if anyone knew what
else I could check...

Thanks,
Tom

I take it you've never seen a fried CPU, Mr. Smartass...Well, ask around,
you'll find plenty of people who have...

Nope, it was a Biostar with an Athlon XP 2000...I picked up a MSI KM3M with
AMD Sempron 2200 for $99...It's the 2nd one I've bought, and the other one
is running great so far...

did you check power supply.....
 
Actually I'm certain I've seen many more than you "smartass", looking at a CPU is not a reliable way of telling whether it's good or
bad.
