Default A broken computer and power issues - howto diagnose?

When you have a dead PC start removing things. In fact everything except the processor. With no RAM, no cards, no drives, ANYTHING connected except the processor and the power supply it should beep. Usually like three beeps or whatever in a row, and then it repeats.

If it does not do that, either the power supply, processor or motherboard are bad.
