I had also heard (but never had this problem) that sometimes the
power connector (only) needed to be hooked up to "just about" any
hard drive to give the PS enough of a load to "sense", so it would
come on... Is that an Urban Ledgend?

To get into BIOS setup you need a power supply, motherboard, processor, RAM
(any recognized amount), keyboard, video output (from video card or embedded
video), and monitor.

What are the minimum components needed to run a computer? i.e. do I need to
have RAM, and a hard drive? I am trying to troubleshoot a hardware problem,
but I need to know the minimum components I need to have to at least get to
a BIOS screen- I mean to enter setup in BIOS at start up.
