Booting without memory

[Jay85]

Will a motherboard boot up into the post and could you get into the Bios screen if no memory is in the motherboard, no dimms at all?

come on man come clean you really don't know jack do ya?

I do, I have just got an EVO M4A785&D, But the memory I ordered with it was incorrect and wasnt DDR3 so i had to send it back to be exchanged, I just wanted to know because some posts i have read say some motherboards
especially the newer ones have onboard memory so can still boot to bios,
It was just a query, I just wanted to see everythign was working.

Also there are no error beeps on boot, Only back screen no signal input. shouldnt it beep?

IT WAS JUST A QUESTION

Harddrive sends info to ram which then sends it to processor... Without ram you only have a processor which cant do anything on its own...

Oh come on, you have got to be taking the *beep*. You claim you're an MCSE, but you can't even identify the correct RAM for a board and you believe computers will work without RAM because of something you've read on "some posts" on a bulletin board.

On the newer boards like AM3, I just read about it and wondered if it was true or not, obviously im guessing not, But it kind of made sense that tech has moved forward enough to incorporate some memory onboard as standard

For the record Iptech I ordered DDR 3 memory sticks but was sent DDR2 instead, there mistake which they have rectified, just have to wait for it,

If there is on board RAM.

This is a joke right.....?

"Their" mistake.

...or is it our mistake?

For the record Jay, I like you and I would love to encourage you in your venture, if anyone can fight against the odds it's you, but you are setting yourself up for a serious fall (passim). Please don't try and blag your way through life, adversity only carries so many opportunities, don't waste these on the thin hope people will believe what you say. Focus on what you do and how well you do it.

It doesn't look like it, but for the sake of the industry, I'm going to just assume it was.

Honestly, there really, really needs to be some sort of regulation in place before someone can legally call themselves a computer technician; not these measly unknown certs that function as resume candy and pretty advertising logos.

Sadly, I think the title of "computer technician" is overused. Anyone can claim to be one, with or without certifications. The general public is unaware of most certifications, and some certifications are outdated and not a good indicator of the caliber of the tech.

Technicians are first and foremost, problem solvers. Some of the certified techs I know are terrible at this.
