Most people don't have spare parts and get to take such a machine to a repair shop so they can sniff out what part is gone.
If you insist on repairing it yourself, it's time to buy the parts you think it is and move forward.
Posting this in multiple forums and repeating the same post will likely just make people wonder if you lost track of former discussions.

I was just using my computer like usual last night, not doing anything out of the ordinary, had maybe 3 apps open. Out of nowhere it it freezes and completely shuts down. I tried to turn it back on after that but now it won't even turn on at all. When I try to turn it on I just get one long beep then two very short fast beeps and that's it, no display on the monitor or anything like that. After it froze, the monitor smelled like it was burning (it's a pretty old monitor) I'm not sure if this is at all related to what is wrong with the computer, I tried hooking up a different monitor (one that i know works) but that didn't help any. I've since tried removing the video card and booting it up like that, I heard identical beeps without the video as with it in. I've also thoroughly cleaned the whole computer and checked all connections. Thank you in advance for any help.
