SGI Visual Workstation 320 won't POST

SGI Visual Workstation 320 won't POST
Hello Smile

I know very little about these systems, so please bear with me. I recently got a Visual Workstation 320 which will not POST. The fans spin up and everything seems to be getting power but other than that, it shows no signs of life, not even a beep. I hooked up a USB keyboard to it (no mouse) and a normal CRT monitor (VGA) in case it matters. It has a single 600MHz Pentium III and all the RAM slots are filled. It has no hard disk at the moment because it has had its hard disk removed before it was given to me (shame, it must have been one of those nice SCSI ones). I have been told that the onboard graphics chip tends to fail on these systems. Is this true? Could it be the cause here? I am hoping it isn't the RAM, because there's no way I'm going to be able to find replacements. It is also worth mentioning that the capacitors on the motherboard all seem ok.
