Greetings
During the 15 beeps, is there a very short pause after 3 beeps, like a fraction of a second making it a sequence of five 3 beeps for a total of 15 before the longer pause?

Hello Qwertos,
A single long beep indicates a memory problem.
I suggest that you return into your machine's belly and test your ram, one stick at a time. Also, examine each stick for oxydation. If you can borrow a good working stick to test, that also would be a good idea, just in case all of your sticks are damaged.
I would like to hear from you after your test.

Okay, let me know. Please insure that the stick you try is compatible ie DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 and let's hope it's not a graphic card problem. If you can, borrow and test a graphic card.
stucked the stick i borrowed but still nothing... i removed the graphic card but it's still dead.

You just don't remove the graphic card, you must test with another. Without a top shape graphic card, you will never get a signal.
Since the ram testing did not show anything and that you have absolutely nothing on the screen, there are 2 possible sources to the problem:
1. Your graphic card is fried
2. You motherboard is toasted
Since we can't hear the Windows' jingle, it's most likely your motherboard for which only a qualitfied in the flesh technician can look into it.
If that happened to me, I would scream!

Hello Qwertos,
Unfortunately, I afraid it is a defective motherboard. Sorry about that, I wish I could help further.
If you take it to the repair shop, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Best regards
