[KLUG Members] dead pII

[Buist Justin]

Yank the video card out... see if you get 3 beeps when you power the machine on.  Heck, yank the memory out too -- strip it right down to nothing just to see if you can get it to toss an error out on the little PC speaker.  When I can't get hardware to do at least -that- then I just give up.
