I Have a Dell E210882 motherboard without the RAM beeps, but after I put it on, and turn on, it doesn't show up anything. It seems that the display turns on, but nothing appears.
Any idea what could be wrong? What should I do?

Question edited for clarity and add maker.
Question moved to Dell Desktop computer.
This only happens for a few reasons
Memory is the wrong type.
Memory added exceeds motherboard capacity (4GB)
Memory not seated correctly.
Memory faulty.
If the memory is not all the same size, sometimes they have to go in order, or in certain slots.
Memory
The Dell E210882 system board is compatible with PC2-3200 (400 MHz) or PC2-4300 (533 MHz) DDR2 non-ECC and unbuffered SDRAM. The motherboard has four slots for memory. Compatible capacities include: 128MB, 256MB, 512MB or 1GB. The maximum installable RAM is 4GB.

If your E210882 motherboard powers on but does not produce a beep code, even without RAM installed, this could indicate a problem with the motherboard, the power supply, or the CPU.
Some potential causes for this problem include:
The motherboard may be faulty. If the motherboard is not functioning properly, it may not be able to produce a beep code even if the CPU and power supply are functioning properly.
The power supply may be faulty or not providing enough power to the motherboard. Check the power supply and make sure it is functioning properly and providing sufficient power to the motherboard.
The CPU may be faulty or not properly seated in the motherboard's socket. Check the CPU and make sure it is properly installed and functioning properly.
The BIOS may be outdated or corrupted. Check the BIOS version and try updating it to the latest version to see if this resolves the issue.
If you are unsure how to check for and address these potential causes, you may want to consult the user manual for your E210882 motherboard or contact the manufacturer for assistance.
If you do not hear a post beep sound, then you may have an issue with the motherboard and/or processor. I suggest you either take it in for repair or replace yourself
If you hear the post beep sound, then listen for the sequence of beeps. This should indicate what is wrong with the machine. Generally(Note: these may be different with motherboard and/or bios type).
sequential long beeps indicate RAM issues
1 long followed by two short indicate a display adapter issue

Remove the RAM from the slot and clean it. after that stick it back on the ram slot and try . If the same sound again then pull back the ram & put in a other ram slot. If you face same problem again then your RAM is damaged. For confirmation just use your ram in different motherboard. If its working there, then your motherboard ram slot not connecting well with motherboard. You need to repair your motherboard.
Thanks & waiting for your feedback.
Unplug Motherboard completely from all power. Remove RAM and all ISA/PCI/PCI-E/AGP cards out carefully and wait like 5 minutes. Try again using only bare essentials: Video card and 1 stick of ram. Alternate RAM is possible if it doesn't work. Try a New Video Card if nothing else works... Most MB manufacturers will have a chart that has the beep codes so you can at least narrow it down if not solve it by the beeps.
