Not sure which generation you have, but here is a link to all the light codes and beep codes:

@scottalanmiller No beeps unless memory is removed. Otherwise, high fan speed, indicator 2 and 4, no video.
What are the beeps that you do get when the memory is removed?
-
I'm guessing the graphics card is integrated on an SFF.
-
@rojoloco Yes, it is integrated. I don't have a pci express to test, but I am not sure if it will post anyway with the video error.
-
Reseat the minimum amount of memory, see what it does.

@reid-cooper 122

@scottalanmiller Tried that. Also cleared cmos. No change. Still black screen, high fan speed, solid green power light, and indicator 2 and 4 lit.
-
Do you have anything plugged into that box that could be removed? Any extra cards, USB or anything like that? If so, remove them.
If not, likely the mobo is dead.
-
@reid-cooper Nothing else plugged in.
-
I think that likely the desktop is just dead, then. unless you can acquire a replacement motherboard, of course.
-
@reid-cooper I tend to agree. I will look for something.
-
Probably worth retiring that box. How old is it?
-
@reid-cooper I think its a 2013. I use(d) it for a ltsp server.

Not ancient, but might be time to retire it.
-
@reid-cooper Maybe I can find a cheap mobo and give it a few more years. Thanks for the insight!
-
Possible, if you can find one cheaply.
