Help!

I have an Acer 1100 motherboard that decided to go south.  AWhen I boot,
the VGA bios comes up and Award Bios comes up, but no memory check, or 
drive polling.  The keyboard is polled also.  I called ACER about the repair
and they wanted $600 to SWAP motherboards!!  I believe the problem shouild
be minor, since I get something on the screen. (No sound from speaker,
however).  Any sugestions as to what I should do?


Is there any way I can tell if the CPU itself is good?  The Memory?

Or should I sell the thing as used junk and buy something else?



Thanx in advance
