Hi Robin,

I didn't have speaker connected but I am going to connect.
I will check electrolytic caps today. I have all professional tools
For soldering and de soldering. Thank you for your suggestions.

Check any large electrolytic capacitors around the cpu socket for signs
like bulging tops of the cans or the rubber plug on the bottom being
half pushed out. There was a rash of this sort of problem with
motherboards of that sort of age.
You may be able to replace them but be aware that desoldering them is
likely to be a pain.

Does it beep on power up?  If so then your cpu is probably happy but the
video card isn't.

Cheers,
     Robin.
