Constant bios beep

Sorry I don't have alot of info on this but a friend just called me and his computer is down for the count.
He plugged in 2 RAM chips (which he said he had to force in) a friend gave him and now all he gets is a constant supply of short beeps and a message on his monitor saying "no signal".
He took the RAM out to no avail.
He thinks it used to say Award Bios although he can't even get that far now.
Is it fried or is there a possible solution?
Thanks again folks!

 

Did he have 1 stick of RAM then added another stick of RAM and is that when the problem started?
You also mentioned he forced the sticks in, that is never a good thing. He cold have damaged the RAM stick as well as the RAM slot itself.
Have him use just one stick of RAM (if he had a working one, have him use that one alone).
Also make sure when he is getting insdie to do any kind of work he unplugs the power cord and also touches the PSU to discarge any potential ESD before touching anything else!
He has to unplug the cord and try one (good) stick of RAM in each slot at a time to see if he gets the system to boot at all, this would be first step.
If he can get that far, chances are, the rest of the boot process should be fine as well.

 

Yep, he had one good stick that he left in the whole time and added 2 more.
He is back to the original one but still beeping.
I'm thinking he might have damaged the slot on the MB or something.

 

Well, if he left the good one in its original slot and never removed it then it should not matter if the other slots are damaged or not as long as there is no RAM inserted in them. But RAM problems can get a bit odd so have him remove ALL the RAM sticks, then boot up without any RAM, then power down and then insert the good RAM into the good slot (carefully and without using excessive force!).
Before starting the PC, have him reset the BIOS by either removing the BIOS battery for 10-15 secs or by moving the BIOS reset jumper switch from pins 1&2 to pins 2&3 for a few secs then place the jumper plug back on pins 1&2. Then fire up the PC and see what happens.

Important note: when working inside the PC case the power cord should always be unplug and the person should ground themselves to the case vie anti-static cable or by touching the PSU before touching anything else.
If he already damaged the RAM sticks then none of the above would matter but if the good RAM stick fails have him take that one out and try the other ones one at a time!
