eMachine Issues

I have an eMachine W2925 that I am trying to repair for our school librarian. It powers up but I get one long beep and no video. The only thing I can find on the Internet indicates this is a memory problem of some kind. I have installed 5 different RAM modules in each of the RAM sockets with the same result. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

Thank you!!

If you remove all ram and try turning it on, do you get the same beep?

Yes.
Do you know if any ram was added/removed or changed when this problem started? Maybe there is a possibility that 1) someone stole the proper ram 2) the system requires ram to be installed in pairs and someone removed the matching memory 3) The ram you are trying is incompatible with the system. or 4) The motherboard is damamaged and mut be replaced.

You can try a memory tool to make sure the ram you are trying is the correct kind

The memory is correct.

I ended up replacing the M/B which is almost the same as a new computer - just a bit cheaper.
