you can turn it on. All it normally does is throw beep codes at you as there is no ram.

Sorry, no BIOS AFAIK with no RAM. Certainly, not in all the years I've been dealing with PC's.

How can you have fried it without booting it or have you already turned it on without the heatsink / fan combo on?
